    D: H2O

    Explanation:

    A molecular compound (also known as a covalent compound) is defined as a compound where atoms share electrons. This type of bond is called a covalent bond.

    Molecular compounds form between non-metal elements.

    H2O is made up of non-metal atoms, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Therefore, the bonds are covalent and the compound is a molecular compound.

    In contrast, when bonds are formed between a metal and a non-metal, an ionic compound is formed.

    NaOH - Sodium (metal), Oxygen (non-metal), and Hydrogen (non-metal); Ionic compound K2O - Potassium (metal) and Oxygen (non-metal); Ionic compound KCL - Potassium (metal) and Chloride (non-metal); Ionic compound
