Hydrogen Bonding
Hydrogen bonding occurs in phenol when it's hydrogen comes into contact with hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine of another molecule. In this case the hydrogens of the two molecules bond together. The hydrogens from either molecule could also bond to an oxygen from the other molecule

Dipole-Dipole
Since phenol is a polar molecule, it can bond with other polar molecules. In this case, the polarity of phenol is attracted to the polarity of the water.

Dispersion
Dispersion is a force that acts upon all molecules. It acts upon phenol and oxygen here. Dispersion means that each molecule naturally has a small attraction to each other. This is the case here.
