Solution

The correct option is C Hydrogen bonds
Hydrogen bonds are weak or temporary bond, that can be easily split or broken and therefore are present between antigen and antibody, so that they can be easily associated and disassociated, similar to enzyme and substrate.
So, the correct answer is 'Hydrogen bonds'
