    b. oxygen side being slightly negative and the hydrogen side being slightly positive.

    Explanation:

    The water molecule is a polar molecule, that is to say that its distribution of electronic density is different throughout the molecule.

    In this way, in the water molecule there is a negative partial charge towards the oxygen atom and a positive partial charge towards the hydrogen atom.

    This polar characteristic of the water molecule allows ions and other molecules to exhibit water solubility and is widely used in chemical reactions.
