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 types of covalent bonds shown in the map. The map lists nonpolar covalent bonds and polar covalent bonds under the covalent category.
3. Understand that nonpolar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons between atoms, while polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing, leading to partial charges.
4. Review the non-covalent bonds section in the map, which includes strong electrostatic interactions like ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds, as well as weak interactions like Van der Waals interactions.
5. Determine which of the options provided in the problem are types of covalent bonds. Based on the map, polar covalent bonds are the only type of covalent bond listed among the options.
