Answer:

Polar Bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar bonds are characeristic of unequal pulling of electrons. Oxygen attracts electrons more strongly than hydrogen in a water molecule so the bonds between have unequal pulling of electrons = polar bonds.

Just another note, bonds between different water molecules (H2O - H2O) are hydrogen bonds.
