Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
C

London dispersion forces (also called as induced dipole - induced dipole interactions), exist because of the generation of temporary polarity due to collision of particles and for this very reason, they are present in all molecules and inert gases as well.

Because of the presence of a permanent dipole, there will be dipole-dipole interactions present here.

There is no that is directly attached to an oxygen atom, so -bonding cannot be present.
