Solution

The correct option is D polarized
In carbonyl group, oxygen is more electronegative than carbon and hence the bonding electrons are attracted more towards oxygen. This creates the partial negative and positive charges on oxygen and carbon respectively. These partial charges act as two poles and hence the bond gets polarized.
