Ionic bond is non directional, because charge is uniform in all direction. An ion is surrounded by other ion from all the direction. But covalent and coordinate bond are formed by one side only hence are directional. Non-directional bonding is the bonding which involves opposite charges such as metallic and ionic.

They asking about strongly directional bond not about the stronger bond, as far as direction is concerned the answer is a covalent bond as one atom shares electrons to another atom.
We even show the covalent bonding through directional lines but for ionic it's through positive-negative charges.

Ionic bonds are much stronger than covalent bonds. In ionic bonds, there is complete transfer of electrons between elements to form a stable compound. While in covalent bond, there is only sharing of electrons between two elements to form a stable compound.

When covalant bonds are formed they align in such directions in space to reduce bond pair-bond pair or bond pair-lone pair repulsion. Less is the repulsion more is the stability. So covalant bonding is strongly directional in solids.

I think the answer is an ionic bond. The bond is created by electron transfer from an anion to a cation which makes it directional, unlike the covalent bond, where the bond is formed by the sharing of electrons.

Brothers & sisters Pi Bond is less Strong than Sigma bond and due to the presence of Sigma bond solids are more stable. But ionic is also a stronger bond than covalant, answer is still confusing.

Guys.
It asks about the "strongly directional" not the stronger or strongest bond. Brother Nain perceived the question properly. As far as direction is considered the answer is covalent bond.

Covalent bond is not a directional bond. But ionic bond is. And ionic bond is much stronger than covalent hence answer must be ionic bond.

Ionic bond is more stronger than covalent bond because of the attraction of oppositely charged ions. How it is covalent?

Solubility of solid is more stable so covalent bond is strong and covalent bond form tm pie-pie bond.
