The correct statement is:
The partial positive hydrogen atom in one molecule and a partial negative atom in another molecule experience attraction.
In hydrogen bonding, the hydrogen atom (which is covalently bonded to a more electronegative atom) has a partial positive charge. This hydrogen can then attract the partial negative charge of another electronegative atom (like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) in a different molecule, forming a hydrogen bond.
