I apologize for the incorrect response. Methane (CH4) is actually a nonpolar covalent molecule. The carbon atom in methane is surrounded by four identical hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. The molecule has a symmetrical shape, causing the electron distribution to be balanced and resulting in a nonpolar overall polarity. Therefore, the correct answer is d) nonpolar covalent.
