Solution

The correct option is C $H_{2} O$
A hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen $(H)$ atom covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen $(N)$ or oxygen $(O)$ experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby.
