Which of the following bonds is the strongest?

A. covalent bonds
B. hydrogen bonds
C. valence bonds
D. metallic bonds

D. metallic bonds

The strongest type of bond among the options given is covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons in order to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons creates a strong bond between the atoms. Hydrogen bonds, on the other hand, are weaker bonds that occur between a hydrogen atom in a polar molecule and an electronegative atom in another molecule. Valence bonds and metallic bonds are not as strong as covalent bonds.
