Solution
The correct option is BH2O(s) H2(s) is a non polar molecular solid. SO2(s) is a polar molecular solid.
Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Solids:
The molecules contain polar covalent bonds between H and F/O/N atoms. Strong hydrogen bonding binds molecules of such solids like H2O(ice).
They are non-conductors of electricity. Generally they are
volatile liquids or soft solids under room temperature and pressure.
