When a polar molecule causes a charge redistribution in a nonpolar molecule, what are the molecules of the mixture most likely experiencing?

A polar molecule has a permanent dipole, which can distort the electron cloud of a nearby nonpolar molecule and create a temporary, induced dipole. The attraction between the permanent dipole and the induced dipole is called a dipole-induced dipole interaction, so choice C is correct.
