A)They are caused by hydrophobic molecules interacting strongly with each other.
B)They are the driving force for micelle formation.
C)When nonpolar molecules come in contact with water,a highly-ordered shell of water molecules forms at the interface between the nonpolar molecules and water.A hydrophobic interaction is caused by the desire of water molecules to regain the entropy lost during this organization around the nonpolar substance by excluding the substance from interaction with water molecules.
