Correct answer is c ( Covalent bonds are generally weaker than ionic bonds because they overlap electrons to fill their outer shell.) .
Generally, ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, there is complete transfer of electrons between elements to form a stable compound. While in covalent bond, there is only sharing of electrons between two elements to form a stable compound.
