Answer:

HCL

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference Table S lists the electronegativity of each element. The greater the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond. The electronegativity of H is 2.2 and the electronegativity of Cl is 3.2; the difference is the greatest of the choices listed.

D) HCl is the most polar bond. This is because the electronegativity difference between these 2 elements in this molecule is larger than the other 3 molecules given. The bigger the electronegativity difference, the more polar the bond.
