Answer:- Water is an electronegative molecule.

Explanation:

A molecule cannot be electronegative. Rather the atoms in a molecule may be electronegative. This first statement does not account for the hydrogen bonding in water at all because it is incorrect. However, the other statements in the question sheds more light on the nature of hydrogen bonding in water molecule.
