Answer:

A. Oxygen atoms in water molecules are also attracted to hydrogen atoms in other water molecules.

Explanation:

Water molecules are forge by hydrogen bonds with one another. Here, the partly negative charge on the Oxygen (O) of one molecule would forge a hydrogen (H) bond with the partly positive charge on the hydrogens of its neighbouring or other molecules. Water molecules can also form a bond with other polar molecules and ions.

In the diagram, H is white and O is gray coloured molecules.
