The answer is, or shud I say I'm quite sure it's Ordinary covalent bond cos both elements have same number of lone pairs of electrons, so for them to attain the stable octet structure, they've got to share among themslves. I.e: 4 lone electrons + 4 lone electrons = 4 shared pair! (8 electrons- now stable)

I think the answer is dative (dative-covalent) and not simply convalent because no electron(s) is/are shared!
