Solution

The best description for a polar covalent bond is: Electrons are shared unequally between two atoms.

In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are not shared equally because one atom has a stronger pull (or electronegativity) than the other. This unequal sharing of electrons results in a slight charge separation, or polarity, with one end of the bond having a slight negative charge and the other a slight positive charge.
