Answer:
WATER
Explanation:
Because water has hydrogen bonds between its molecules which makes it difficult to break the bonds during boiling.
hydrogen bonding > ionic > covalent > vander waals force

The boiling points of water, ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether are 100 oC, 78.5 oC and 34.6 oC respectively. Higher is the boiling point, higher is the strength of intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces will be in the order of Water > ethyl alcohol > diethyl ether.
