The boiling point of water is exceptionally high because:
There is a covalent bond between H and O
Water molecule is linear
Water molecules associate due to hydrogen bonding
Water molecule is not linear
Water molecules exist as associated molecules due to hydrogen bonding and thus possess a high boiling point.
Therefore, option number (3) is correct.
