Answer: Option C) A carbon atom and a hydrogen atom

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond is formed between two elements with close electronegative value. In essence, carbon and hydrogen has almost the same power to attract electrons, thus both elements combine to form a compound with covalent bond.

For example: methane (CH4), has one carbon atom linked by covalent bonds to four hydrogen atoms
