Solution

The correct option is D

Polar covalent bond


The unequal division of charges in water makes the bond a polar covalent bond.
Polar covalent bonds are a particular type of covalent bond.
In the polar covalent bond in water, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus.
