The property I only can be assigned to water.
I. It has a permanent dipole moment attributed to its molecular structure.
Water is polar in nature due to electronegativity difference between H atom and O atom.
The individual bond dipoles do not cancel each other as water has bent shape.
II. It is a non-conductor of electricity as it lacks ions.
III. It has its polar covalent bonds between hydrogen and oxygen which forms V shape for the molecule so that the molecule is non linear or bent.
