Answer

D. Polar covalent

Step-by-step explanation

A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in which the atoms have an unequal attraction for electrons and so the sharing is unequal. In a polar covalent bond, sometimes simply called a polar bond, the distribution of electrons around the molecule is no longer symmetrical.

Therefore the correct answer is option D. Polar covalent.
