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 that nonpolar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons between atoms, while polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons, leading to partial charges (δ+ and δ−) on the atoms.
4. Look at the section labeled 'Non-Covalent' bonds, which includes strong electrostatic interactions such as ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds, as well as weak interactions like Van der Waals interactions.
5. Based on the map, recognize that polar covalent bonds are indeed a type of covalent bond, while Van der Waals, ionic, and hydrogen bonds are categorized under non-covalent interactions.
