The hydrogen cannot participate in hydrogen bonding with other molecules.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus, hydrogen bonding is present in alcohols as the oxygen atom is linked to hydrogen

Partially positive end of the hydrogen atom is attracted to partially negative end of the oxygen atom. It is strong force of attraction between the molecules. Thus, hydrogen acquires slight positive charge and become electron deficient or acidic.

Hence, option C is incorrect.
