Use electronegativity values to classify each of these bonds as

               nonpolar covalent (0-0.4)

              polar covalent  (>0.4 but < 1.7)

              ionic               (>1.7)

Cs to F              C to H               C to O

Cs to F     4.0-0.7 = 3.3   ionic

C to H      2.5-2.1 = 0.4  nonpolar covalent

C to O      3.5 - 2.5 = 1.0  polar covalent

So Cs transfers its valence electron to F

So C and H share electrons nearly equally

So C and O share unequally with the shared electrons nearer O most of the time.

because both atoms in the molecule's chemical bond are nonmetals ( O nonmetal ot O nonmetal or N nonmetal to N nonmetal etc) and covalent bonds from between two nonmetal atoms since both have relatively high electronegativity.

the only correct drawing is d--rest are incorrect:  a is incorrect due to unpaired electrons (7 total for the rightmost C and c is incorrect due to 9 electrons on the leftmost C and 3 on the leftmost H, b is incorrect due to the leftmost C only having 6 electrons, as well as the middle C.
