The correct answer is, Weak bonds are transient and easily reversible.

Explanation:

Molecules or atom that associate to produce a weak bond can interact, and then separate. this is evident in hydrogen bond and vanderwaal force where the combined effect can produce emergent properties.

Example; the hydrogen bonds present in water molecule; when the bonds are broken using heat, the molecules are separated or released in form of vapor, this same molecule can combine again by condensation to produce liquid. showing clearly how transient and reversible the bonds between them is.
