What explains the very high melting and boiling point of water

• Strong dipole-dipole bonds between water molecules
• Strong hydrogen bonds between water molecules

• dipole-dipole>covalent bond>hydrogen bond>London
• London>dipole-diple>hydrogen bond>covalent bond
• covalent bond>hydrogen bond>dipole-dipole>London
• hydrogen bond>dipole-dipole>London>covalent bond

All molecules have London forces between them, but dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding are so much stronger that when they are present we can ignore London forces.  Which of these has ONLY London forces?

• I₂
• NH₃
• OCl₂
• SH₂
