Solution

The correct option is C dispersion forces
The intermolecular force of attraction between non-polar molecules is called dispersion force. Another term for dispersion force is London dispersion force. In general, dispersion forces are inversely proportional to the fifth or sixth power of the distance between the two molecules. Such forces are extremely weak and are negligible in comparison to hydrogen bonds, etc. They are the weakest forces.
