LDF's (aka London-Dispersion Forces, aka Dispersion Forces, also known as instantaneous dipole-dipole interactions)

Explanation:

Although you may be tempted to put down that the answer is hydrogen bonding (due to the presence of the highly electronegative atom F), since the F atom is attached to a Carbon atom (and not a Hydrogen atom), there is no hydrogen bonding. This molecule is also nonpolar, as you would find if you were to draw the Lewis structure. For nonpolar molecules such as the given #"FCH"_2"CH"_2"F"#, the only intermolecular forces would be dispersion forces, also known as instantaneous dipole-dipole interactions.

I hope that helps!
