An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.
An ionic bond would form because both atoms are nonmetals.
A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.

The correct response is:
A covalent bond would form because the electron would be shared so both hydrogens have a full, stable shell.
Hydrogen atoms form covalent bonds by sharing their single valence electron, allowing both to achieve a full outer shell (two electrons).
