Solution

The correct option is D Hydrogen bonding
Two ice cubes, when pressed with each other forms one block due to the hydrogen bond formation. The electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged hydrogen atom of one molecule with the negatively charged oxygen atom of another molecule forms H-bond which holds the two cubes together.
