Answer:

O-H bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us work out the electronegativity difference between the elements in each bond in order to decide which of them is most polar.

For the C-O bond

2.55 - 2.2 =0.35

For the F-F bond

3.98 - 3.98 = 0

For the O-H bond

3.44 - 2.2 = 1.24

For the N-H bond

3.04 - 2.2 = 0.84

The O-H bond has the highest electronegativity difference, hence it is he most polar bond.
