Answer:

b)CH3OH

Step-by-step explanation:

a)C3H8 The dominant intemolecular force here are London dispersion forces.

Dipole-dipole forces cancel out because the molecule is symmetric

b)CH3OH - The dominant intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding

c)CH3OCH3 - The dominant intemolecular force here are London
