The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Structure of \( \mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{Cl} \)
Ammonium chloride is composed of \( \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} \) and \( \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \) ions.
Step 2: Linkages

- The bond between \( \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} \) and \( \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \) is Ionic.
- Inside the \( \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+} \) ion, three N-H bonds are Covalent.
- The fourth N-H bond is formed by Nitrogen donating a lone pair to \( \mathrm{H}^{+} \), making it Coordinate.
Step 3: Conclusion

Thus, \( \mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{Cl} \) contains all three types of linkages.
