Answer:

P-O.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the covalent bond, which involves valence electrons sharing, occurring specially between nonmetals, we infer that the P-O bond is the most likely to be covalent, because the P-Na bond is not present and the O-Na bond is ionic.

Regards!
