Answer:

a. CH_3OH and Na^+

Step-by-step explanation:

Ion-dipole interaction is the forces of attraction existing between a polar compound and an ion. This particular type of ion-dipole attraction occurs between an electrostatic attraction of an ion and a dipole molecule.

From the given example, CH3OH is a polar compound, and Na^+ is an ion. Therefore, that is the only pair that exhibit the characteristics of an ion-dipole interaction.
