    Van der Waal's attraction
  • B
    Dipole dipole interaction
  • C
    Steric hindrance
  • D
    H-bonding
✓

Answer

  1. H-bonding

Explanation:

The solubility of lower alcohols is due to the existence of hydrogen bonds between water and polar -OH group of alcohol molecules.

The -OH group in alcohols and phenols contain a hydrogen bonded to an electronegative oxygen atom. Thus they form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
