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 water molecule, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, closer to the oxygen nucleus than hydrogen nucleus.
