Solution

The correct option is C
Middle, Equally

In case of non-polar covalent bond, the covalent bond is formed in the middle of atoms and shared electrons are equally distributed.
Charge separation does not take place as such a bond is formed between atoms in which the electronegativity difference between the combining atoms is zero or negligible,
