  1. A
    Dipole-dipole interaction
  2. B
    Covalent bonds
  3. C
    London dispersion force
  4. D
    Hydrogen bonding

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Methanol () contains an group where Hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative Oxygen atom. This leads to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding. To vaporize the liquid, these hydrogen bonds must be broken.
