    So the correct answer is e) O-H

    Explanation:

    To determine the most polar bond we calculate the electronegativity difference in each bond and determine the highest value:

    a) N-H = 3.0 - 2.1 = 0.9

    b) O-C = 3.5 - 2.5 = 1

    c) O-N = 3.5 - 3 = 0.5

    d) C-H = 2.5 - 2.1 = 0.4

    e) O-H = 3.5 - 2.1 = 1.4

    So the correct answer is e) O-H
