Solution

The correct option is C Diborane
As there is no lone pair of electrons present on the boron in diborane it do not form a hydrogen bond.But in water inorganic benzene and methanol there is a lone pair of electrons on oxygen, nitrogen and oxygen respectively so they form hydrogen bonding between most electronegative atom like nitrogen oxygen and hydrogen.
Hence option D is correct.
