Solution

The correct option is D Hydrogen bond
A hydrogen bond is the force of attraction created between a partially positive hydrogen atom which is attached to an electronegative atom. The hydrogen atoms are not only attached to their oxygen atoms but also attached towards other nearby oxygen atoms. Hydrogen bond between water molecules are neither too strong nor too weak.
