Answer:

S-O. Option D is correct

Explanations:

What is electronegativity of an element?

Electronegativity of an atom is the tendency of such atom to attract electron to itself.

In the periodic table, the electronegativity of an atom increases from left to right across the period and decreases down the group. From the given options, Nitrogen, Hydroegen and Oxygen are all in period 2 but Oxygen is more electronegative than the rest of the elements.

Since oxygen is more electronegative than the rest of the element, hence the bond S-O will be more electronegative compared to other bonds,
