Solution

The correct option is A Hydrogen bonding
In water and glycerine, the intermolecular forces that exists is Hydrogen bonding.
In case of Hexane, Dispersion forces / London forces exists.
The order of viscosities of these liquids is haxane < water < glycerine.
Hexane has weakest intermolecular forces and glycerine the strongest. ( three OH groups).
Therefore, hexane has minimum viscosity and glycerine has maximum viscosity.
