Solution

The correct option is A Van der Waals forces
Ans: Van der Waals forces

Because for other two options the boiling point will be more as those two are not so weak interactions as Van Der Waals. Also Van der Waals is just attractive gravitational force. So it is very weak and results in lower boiling point. Van der Waals force predominantly form in molecules with medium molecular weight.
