When heated, the temperature of a water sample increased from 15 degrees celsius to 39 degrees celsius. It absorbed 4300 joules of heat. What is the mass, in grams, of the sample?

Well technically there are two correct answers b and d. but for you its probably b in general.good day sir/ma'am : ) (i know not gender)

Vander waals forces are inter molecular bonds that exist within molecules of the same substance. a water molecule is made up of oxygen and hydrogen atoms which share electrons between each other. the vander waals forces are forces that exist between multitude of different  molecules of water. dipole dipole forces is the type of vander waals force that exist in water. the oxygen atom which is more electronegative pulls the shared electron closer to itself thus generating a partial negative charge while the hydrogen acquire a partial positive charge. these two different charges causes attraction to occur in water molecules.
