Solution

The correct option is C NH3
Bonds that are partially ionic are called polar covalent bonds. In this bond a pair of electrons is unequally shared between two atoms.
For NH3, the nitrogen atoms draw the shared electrons in the bonds close to it, so the nitrogen has a partly negative charge.
