The correct answer is:

C. valence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The valence or valency of an element is a stratagem of its connecting power with other atoms when it makes chemical compounds or molecules.

A valence electron is an outer shell electron that is connected with an atom, and that can compete in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond provide one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
