The potential energy `U` between two molecules as a function of the distance `X` between them has been shown in the figure. The two molecules are
A. Attracted when `x` lies between `A` and `B` and are repelled when `X` lies between `B` and `C`
B. Attracted when `x` lies between `B` and `C` and are repelled when `X` lies between `A` and `B`
C. Attracted when they reach `B`
D. Repelled when they reach `B`
