The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to highly electronegative elements such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F). Among the given compounds, only \( \text{NH}_3 \) (ammonia) has hydrogen directly bonded to nitrogen, which is highly electronegative. Thus, \( \text{NH}_3 \) exhibits hydrogen bonding.
