Answer:

The correct answer is - slightly negative.

Explanation:

The oxygen atom has a tendency to attracts electrons slightly strongly than hydrogen so it shows the attraction of each electron by both hydrogen and oxygen atom in the water molecule.

Due to the attraction of the electron slightly more than hydrogen, the oxygen side of molecule becomes slightly negative and the hydrogen side becomes slightly positive.

Thus, the correct answer is - slightly negative.
