Detailed Solution

C6H6 is by nature a non-polar molecule. On the other hand, NH3 is a polar molecule.

So, when the polar NH3 molecule comes closer to the non-polar C6H6 molecule, it induces a dipole on the latter by disturbing the electron cloud.

When a polar molecule disturbs the electron cloud of a non-polar species, a dipole-induced dipole form.
