Answer:

D. Different parts of the molecule have slightly different charges

Explanation:

Water is a polar molecule because different areas of the molecule have different and opposite charges

Oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen, which means the electrons of the water molecule will stay closer to the oxygen than the hydrogen.

This creates an uneven distribution where the oxygen has a partial negative charge and the hydrogen has a partial positive charge.

So, D is the correct answer.
