This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
D2O has greater intermolecular force of attraction. This is because D2O exhibits higher values for melting point, enthalpy of vaporization, and viscosity compared to H2O, indicating stronger intermolecular interactions needed to overcome these properties.
