Solution

The correct option is B non-polar covalent bond
Homolytic fission is a fission in which each bonded atom has an electron with it after fission which results in species called free radicals. Homolytic fission is more likely to happen when the electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved in the fission hence it preferentially takes part in a nonpolar covalent bond.
