Electromagnetic.
Intermolecular forces (van der Waals/London dispersion, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonding) arise from interactions between charges and electron distributions — all manifestations of the electromagnetic force. The strong and weak forces act only inside atomic nuclei, so they don’t hold molecules together.
