Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Examine the map provided in the image, which categorizes different types of chemical bonds into covalent and non-covalent bonds.
2. Identify the section labeled 'Covalent' bonds. This section is highlighted in yellow and includes two types of covalent bonds: Nonpolar Covalent Bonds and Polar Covalent Bonds.
3. Understand the characteristics of Nonpolar Covalent Bonds, which involve equal sharing of electrons between atoms, as depicted by the image of two individuals equally pulling on an electron.
4. Recognize the characteristics of Polar Covalent Bonds, which involve unequal sharing of electrons, leading to partial charges (δ+ and δ-) on the atoms involved, as shown by the image of individuals unequally pulling on an electron.
5. Conclude that Polar Covalent Bonds are indeed a type of covalent bond, as indicated by the map. Other options such as Van der Waals, Ionic, and Hydrogen bonds are categorized under non-covalent interactions in the map.
