Solution
The correct option is C
Van der Waal
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.
