    D) Dispersion; dispersion

    Explanation:

    Pentane or heptane are non-polar molecules so both of the, dispersion or london force exists as intermolecular force exists among molecules of pentane or heptane. So these bonds needs to be broken and dispersion interaction takes place between molecules of pentane and heptane. Dispersion interaction of AB type is stronger than AA or BB type.
