Molecular Size
Larger and heavier atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones. In a larger atom or molecule, the valence electrons are, on average, farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom or molecule. They are less tightly held and can more easily form temporary dipoles.

The strength of dispersion forces depends on the Polarizability of charge distribution characteristics in the molecule. The correct option is a).

What is the dispersion force?

Dispersion forces are also called London dispersion forces. These are the weak forces. These are the temporary force that is formed when two atoms or molecules come very close together.

An example of dispersion force is when two chlorine atoms come very close together. This happens due to the atoms producing temporary dipole attraction.

Polarizability of charge distribution among two atoms. The electron cloud of one atom attracts the nucleus of other atoms, their polarization of charges occurs, and the weak dispersion forces formed between them.

Thus, the correct option is a). Polarizability of charge distribution.
