Which statement about electronegativity differences is correct?
A
Nonpolar covalent bonds are below 0.5, polar covalent bonds are above 0.5 but below 2.1, and ionic bonds are above 2.1.
B
Polar covalent bonds are below 0.5, nonpolar covalent bonds are above 0.5 but below 2.1, and ionic bonds are above 2.1.
C
Ionic bonds are below 0.5, polar covalent bonds are above 0.5 but below 2.1, and nonpolar covalent bonds are above 2.1.
D
Nonpolar covalent bonds are above 0.5, polar covalent bonds are below 0.5 but above 2.1, and ionic bonds are below 2.1.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general the electronegativity difference must be 0.5 or more before the bond is labeled as a polar covalent bond instead of nonpolar covalent bond. The relationship between electronegativity difference (
