In the molecule on the left, areas that have a partial negative charge are pink and areas that have a partial positive charge are blue. The molecule on the right is nonpolar. What will most likely happen when these molecules get closer?

Question illustration
A
The molecules will repel each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction.
B
The molecules will attract each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction.
C
An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right.
D
An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left.
