The substance with the strongest intermolecular forces is **water** because it requires the **most** heat to change from solid to liquid.

Water has hydrogen bonds, which are stronger than the dispersion forces present in neon and argon, as well as the dipole-dipole interactions in oxygen. This results in a higher melting point for water compared to the other substances listed.
