Solution

The correct option is C
Van der Waals

Ionic bonds arise from electrostatic forces.
Covalent bonds are result of $e^{-}$ sharing.
Metallic bonds happen because of $e^{-}$ delocalisation.
Van der Waals' force is because of dipole-dipole interactions, which are observed to be very weak when compared to the others.
