Answer:
Option C. the sharing of electrons between atoms
Explanation:
Covalent bond is a type of bond in which the reacting element share their valence electrons in order to attain the noble gas configuration.
Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.
A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).
To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.
First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between
First Formula would be 
Second empirical formula is between 
Second Formula would be 
Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so
would be written as 
Third empirical formula is between 
Third Formula would be :
Forth empirical formula is between 
Forth Formula would be :
or 
Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as
.
The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : 
The second brother Brother because he is much heavier and therefore has more energy to be released hope this helps
