Question
The molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in HF:

Answer

  1. Dipole dipole
Explanation:
A hydrogen bond is formed by a dipole-dipole force between an electronegative atom (the hydrogen acceptor) and a hydrogen atom that attaches covalently with another electronegative atom (the hydrogen donor) of the same molecule or of a different molecule. 
Only nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine atoms can interact with hydrogen to form hydrogen bonds. Hence the molecular interactions responsible for hydrogen bonding in HF are dipole-dipole interaction.
