Solution

Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons and atoms like hydrogen share their valence electrons to attain stability.Hence, the correct choice for the first statement is sharing.

Hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell, and two hydrogen atoms share electron to form a hydrogen molecule hence forming a covalent bond. Hence the correct choices for the second statement is one and covalent.
