Answer:

The correct answer is:Oxygen is more electronegative than carbon. See the explanation below, please

Explanation:

The electronegativities of oxygen and carbon are: 3, 44 and 2, 55 respectively. The electronegativity is defined as the capacity that a given atom has for the attraction of electrons, by forming a chemical bond. Polarity is related to electronegativity. The greater the difference in electronegativities between two atoms, the polarity of the bond they form will be greater.
