    A. Polar covalent

    Explanation:

    The polarity of a bond depends on the electronegativity difference (ΔEN) between the bonded atoms.

    If the electronegativity difference between the atoms is between 0.4 and 1.7, the bond is polar covalent.

    For an N-H bond, ΔEN = |3.04-2.20| = 0.84

    So, the bond is polar covalent.

    B is wrong. A bond is ionic only if ΔEN > 1.6.

    C is wrong. A bond is nonpolar only if ΔEN < 0.4.

    D is wrong. N and H are not metals.
