The best explanation for why the product failed to remove the grease stain is:

A The active ingredient is polar covalent and has no chemical attraction to the non-polar covalent grease.

This is because non-polar grease does not interact well with polar substances, like those containing polar covalent bonds, leading to ineffective stain removal.
