Answer:

C. Nonpolar covalent

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of bond that holds hydrogen(H) atoms together in a molecule of hydrogen is a non-polar covalent bond.

  • A covalent bond forms between two atoms with low or zero electronegativity difference.
  • It is usually between non - metals or atoms of the same kind.
  • When atoms of the same kind bonds as in hydrogen to form hydrogen gas, non-polar covalent bond is formed.
  • This is because there is no charge separation.
