Ethane with molecular formula (C2H6)  Total : 7 covalent bonds.
 
In Ethane  :
6 Bonds are between : Carbon – Hydrogen (C--H)
1 bond between : Carbon- Carbon (C--C)
 
In this 6 hydrogen atoms will share 1-1 electrons with carbon to form 6 C-H Bonds.
2 Carbon atoms will share 1-1 electron each to form C--C Covalent bond.
In this way 7 covalent bonds will formed.
 
Correct option : (B) : 7 Covalent Bonds..
