Solution

The correct option is B
Covalent bond

A covalent bond is the chemical bond formed when the electrons are shared between the combining atoms. Here the hydrogen atoms complete its valence shell with two electrons and the oxygen atom completes its valence shell by sharing one electron from each hydrogen thus forming an octet.
