Answer:

D

Explanation:

Hydrogen Bond is one of the many different types of bonds there are. It is a primarily electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom that is covalently bounded to another electronegative atom or group. The group it bonds with mostly are elements of the second-row elements in the periodic table, like nitrogen oxygen or even fluorine. Hydrogen bonds have the capabilities to be either intermolecular or intramolecular. This often depends on the nature and type of thees atoms donating, and even that of the atoms receiving.
