Solution

The correct option is A Ionic bond is stronger than Covalent bond
An ionic bond is formed when the positive and negative ions come together. The strong electrostatic forces of attraction between these positive and negative ions hold the ions together firmly, making the bond stronger. The molecules formed by the covalent bonds have weaker forces between the atoms.
