Only the molecule with no other intermolecular force would have dispersion forces as its strongest intermolecular force.
By the way, trick question here: which molecule has the highest boiling point?
And since only
#"H"_2"S"# is polar, and has dipole-dipole interactions as its dominant intermolecular force.#"HCl"# is polar, and has dipole-dipole interactions as its dominant intermolecular force.#"CO"# is polar, and has dipole-dipole interactions as its dominant intermolecular force.
As examples, the
