The correct option is C.

Covalent bonds are usually formed when electrons are shared between non metals. Because of the high electronegativity of non metals, they prefer to share electrons with other elements rather than donating them. Looking at the compound given in option C, you will observe that the compound is made up of two non metals, oxygen and nitrogen and they both contribute electrons to form covalent bond.
