Answer: C. The hydrogen atoms have partial positive charges.

Explanation: The solubility of substances is governed by: Like dissolves like, which states that polar compounds are soluble in polar solvents and non polar compounds are soluble in non polar solvents.

Water being polar in nature dissolves NaCl by getting between the oppositely charged ions of solute and thus decreasing the forces of attraction between the ions. The positively charged Na^+ ions are attracted to positive pole of water which is hydrogen and the negatively charged Cl^- is attracted to negative pole of water which is oxygen.

Why is a hydrogen bond a relatively weak bond?
DerKrebs [107]

Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular (“between-molecule”) bonds, rather than intramolecular (“within-molecule”) bonds. They occur not only in water but in other polar molecules in which positive hydrogen atoms are attracted to negative atoms in nearby molecules. Hydrogen bonds are <em>relatively weaker</em> as chemical bonds. For example, they are much weaker than the bonds holding atoms together within molecules of covalent compounds.

Hydrogen bond is<em> weaker </em>than ionic and covalent bonds. Example: Water molecules are held to each other by intermolecular forces of attraction. Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds, meaning that atoms are actually held together by the physical sharing of electrons.
