Answer is Option (ii)
Explanation:
- Covalent Bond will be produced in C & D.
- The Elements C & D belongs to groups 14 and 17 respectively and we know that groups 14 & 17 consists of elements that are non-metallic in nature. When two non-metals combine, sharing electrons takes place, which further results in the formation of a covalent bond.
