The correct answer is: Liquid $\mathrm{HCl}$
The correct option is D Hydrochloric acid
$\mathrm{HCl}$ does not form hydrogen bond. For the formation of hydrogen bond, at least one hydrogen atom must be bonded to one of the three most electonegative atoms, i.e, $\mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{F}$.
