The correct answer is D. ionic bonds and hydrogen bonds.
In ionic bonds, atoms join together because of the attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. Although hydrogen bonds are generally weaker than ionic and covalent bonds, they also involve the attraction between opposite charges (specifically the positive charge of hydrogen and the negative charge of other electronegative atoms).
Metallic bonds involve the sharing of free electrons among a lattice of metal atoms, and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, rather than the attraction of opposite charges.
