The correct answer is:
(Choice B) Oxygen is very electronegative and strongly attracts hydrogen's electron.
This is because the electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen creates partial charges within the water molecule (H₂O), leading to polar covalent bonds. The oxygen atom pulls the shared electrons closer to itself, giving it a slight negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge. This polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds with one another and with other polar molecules.
