Why is the bond between two single hydrogen atoms stable?

A. It is not stable, each hydrogen only has 1 electron and they need 8 electrons to be stable.

B. Hydrogen only uses the first energy shell, which holds 2 electrons, not 8.

C. Each hydrogen donates more electrons in their lower energy shells to get to 8 but only to other hydrogen atoms.

D. Each hydrogen has 4 electrons to share for a total of 8 when 2 hydrogens bond.
