The statement below best describes SO₂ with respect to the polarity of bonds and the polarity of the molecule is  B) SO₂  has polar S-O bonds and is a polar molecule.

The  SO₂ is an covalent bond. the bond between the sulfur and the oxygen atom is the covalent bond. the oxygen atom is more electronegative than the sulfur atom . the oxygen atom attract the shared paired of the electron towards it self. thus it makes the S - O bond polar bond. the each S - O bond is polar bond. the net dipole moment in the  SO₂  molecule is greater than zero due to the unequal sharing of the electrons.

Thus, the  SO₂  molecules is the polar molecule.
