Solution

The correct answer is c. Outer-shell electrons of two atoms are shared so as to satisfactorily fill the outer electron shells of both atoms. This is the definition of a covalent bond. In a covalent bond, the atoms share electrons, allowing them to achieve a stable electron configuration in their outer shell. This type of bond is common in organic molecules.
