Answer:

C. it involves the sharing of electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond consists of the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. These electrons are attracted by the two atomic nuclei. A covalent bond forms when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions.

hope this helps :)
