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 an electronegative atom) carries a partial positive charge, and it experiences attraction to the partial negative charge on another electronegative atom (like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine) in a different molecule.
