The answer is given as (a). I want to know the reason. It is a boson. Why can't it form a Bose-Einstein condensate?

I am amazed. I had no idea spin polarized hydrogen could exist.

The answer is not (a).

Edit: To prove that it can't be (a), see Bose-Einstein Condensation of Atomic Hydrogen
 
So (d) would be the correct answer?
 
Yes, because it is the only atom in the list with an even number if nucleons and an odd number of electrons an hence a fermion.

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
