Step 1
C
Answer
The correct answer is C. The molecule consists of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, which allows for both van der Waals (London dispersion forces) and dipole-dipole interactions to occur. In contrast, the other options consist of either nonpolar molecules or do not have the necessary conditions for multiple types of van der Waals' forces.
