Solution

The correct option is B polar covalent
In HCl, H and Cl share their electrons and forms a covalent bond. However, Cl is more electronegative as well as bigger in size than H. This causes a shift of electron pairs towards Cl. A bond in which the electron pair is shifted toward one atom is called a polar covalent bond.
