Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that oxygen atom is more electronegative than nitrogen atom. So, oxygen atom will strongly attract the positively charged hydrogen atom more towards itself.
Whereas nitrogen is less electronegative than oxygen. So, positively charged hydrogen atom will not be strongly attracted by the nitrogen atom.
Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options ethanol will have maximum hydrogen bonding.
