Solution
The correct option is ACH3NH2 A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic
attraction between polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom bound to a
highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F) experiences attraction to some other nearby highly electronegative atom.
Since in CH3NH2, hydrogen is attached to electronegative nitrogen, hence, Hydrogen bonding exists in CH3NH2.
