A) London Dispersion Forces (LDFs)

Explanation:

Noble gases are monoatomic as they are unlikely to react with any other atoms since they exist in a stable state and are also nonpolar. This means that the strongest intermolecular forces they can experience are London Dispersion forces (LDFs). LDFs are the weakest interactive forces that are found in any molecule. They are temporary attractive forces formed when electrons between two atoms are unevenly distributed forming temporary dipoles.
