What conclusion does this model support?

The model shows water molecules interacting. The gray circles represent oxygen, and the white circles represent hydrogen.

What conclusion does this model support?

A. Slight negative charges around the oxygen molecule and the slight positive charges of hydrogen atoms form a polar molecule.

B. The two hydrogen atoms are both attracted to the negative oxygen atom, sharing the electrons equally, forming a nonpolar molecule.

C. Strong negative charge of oxygen molecules is equally shared by the hydrogen atoms, forming polar molecules that exhibit hydrogen bonding.

D. The two hydrogen atoms generate a strong positive charge that attracts and bonds with the weak negative oxygen atom that exhibits ionic bonding.
