Solution

The correct option is B Covalent bonds
Covalent compounds have negligible forces of attraction and these are gases e.g. HCl, sulfur dioxide,carbon dioxide and methane. There are weak forces of attraction and such covalent substances are low boiling temperature liquids such as ethanol so boils rapidly and gives off smell.
