Solution

The correct option is D covalent
A carbon-carbon bond is a covalent bond between two carbon atoms. Single bond, composed of two electrons, one from each of the two atoms.
The CC single bond is a sigma bond and is formed between one hybridized orbital sp3 from each of the carbon atoms.
Carbon atoms can also form double bonds in compounds called alkenes or triple bonds in compounds called alkynes.
