The correct option is C C
Four covalent bonds are formed by an element in its compounds and that element is C.
For example, in methane, $C H_{4}$ , C forms four covalent $C - H$ bonds.
Similarly, in carbon tetrachloride, $C C l_{4}$ , C forms four covalent $C - C l$ bonds.
All other elements given in the options form ionic bonds as they are either highly electropositive or highly electronegative elements.
