Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (B) intramolecular

For explanation I WOULD say: The presence of hydrogen between molecules is INTERMOLECULAR hydrogen BOND and presence of hydrogen bond in the molecule itself is intramolecular hydrogen bond. In o-nitrophenol, there is a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of the hydroxide group and oxygen.
