the answer is highly possible to be C

Prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms in both

covalent and ionic compounds.

Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules. Molecular compounds are electrically neutral.

Ionic compounds are (usually) formed when a metal reacts with a nonmetal (or a polyatomic ion). Covalent compounds are formed when two nonmetals react with each other. Since hydrogen is a nonmetal, binary compounds containing hydrogen are also usually covalent compounds.

  • Metal  +  Nonmetal —>  ionic compound (usually)
  • Metal  +  Polyatomic ion —>  ionic compound (usually)
  • Nonmetal  +  Nonmetal  —>  covalent compound (usually)
  • Hydrogen  +  Nonmetal  —>  covalent compound (usually)
