B Correct answer
Explanation

London dispersion force is a weak intermolecular force arising from the quantum induced instantaneous polarization multipoles in molecules. They can act between molecules without permanent multipole moments.These are exhibited by nonpolar molecules because of the correlated movements of the electrons in interacting molecules.
