Select the incorrect statement from the following options.
A. Methane and argon have weak dispersion forces so their boiling point is low
B. Diethyl ether has a dipole moment, and the dipole-dipole forces accounts for its moderately high boiling point
C. Water and ethanol have strong hydrogen bonding and hence they possess high boiling point
D. Mercury has weak metallic bonding which is responsible for its low boiling point
Answer:D
