The potential energy $U$ between two molecules as a function of the distance $X$ between them is shown in the figure. The two molecules are

  • A
    Attracted when $x$ lies between $A$ and $B$ and are repelled when $X$ lies between $B$ and $C$
  • B
    Attracted when $x$ lies between $B$ and $C$ and are repelled when $X$ lies between $A$ and $B$
  • C
    Attracted when they reach $B$
  • D
    Repelled when they reach $B$
