Solution

The correct option is A Electrostatic intereactions
Antibodies bind antigens through weak chemical interactions, and bonding is essentially non-covalent. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic interactions are all known to be involved depending on the interaction sites.
So, the correct answer is 'Electrostatic intereactions'.
