The correct option is A Hydrogen bonding
Ice cubes melt, but as they come into contact with other ice they start to freeze again, but this time they freeze as one. However, as the ice is melting there are chances that the ice cube will come into contact with another ice cube in the glass. When this happens, the pressure pushes the ice cubes together. The internal pressure of the ice causes the ice cubes to refreeze. While refreezing, they tend to also freeze the little liquid there is between the ice cubes. This liquid acts as a bridge between the two cubes and links them together until they actually become one big ice cube. The sticking of two ice cubes together is due to hydrogen bonding between different molecules of water.
