Answer

B

Step-by-step explanation

Carbon atoms share thier 4 valence electrons to form a covalent bond, it is a covalent bond because the electrons are shared, where as with ions, ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal, while a covalent bond is formed between two nonmetals (e.g Carbon)
