Solution

The correct option is D pure covalent bond
The atomic number of nitrogen is 7.
Its electronic configuration is $[H e] {2 s}^{2} {2 p}^{5}$
To complete its octet it needs 3 electrons.
As the bonding is between 2 nitrogen atoms each of the atom will share 3 electrons with other to complete their octet.
Sharing of electrons results in covalent bonding.
Hence, they form pure covalent bonds.
