Solution

The correct option is D four
Water is unique because its oxygen atom has two lone pairs and two hydrogen atoms, meaning that the total number of bonds of a water molecule is up to four. The number of hydrogen bonds formed by a molecule of liquid water fluctuates with time and temperature.
