B. The ionic bond between oxygen and hydrogen

Step-by-step explanation:

The water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Water has a slight positive charge on one side and also another slight negative charge on the other side.

This makes water have a net dipole as a result of the two opposing charges.
