Answer:

The correct answer is - d. hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

Water has strong hydrogen bonds between its molecules that require a very high amount of energy in order to break. Water molecules are joined together or bound with a strong intermolecular force called hydrogen bonds.

These bonds require more kinetic energy which means more temperature or heat in order to break the bonds and turn into steam and this is the reason it has a high boiling point.
