The correct answer is: 62.5%

Dipole moment= q×d

Bond length d=150pm=150×10-12m

Charge q=1.6×10-19

Dipole moment = 150×10-12×1.6×10-19=2.4×10-29

Percentage ionic character =Dipole observedDipole calculated×100

Dipole observed = 1.5×10-29

Percentage ionic character = 1.5×10-292.4×10-29×100=62.5

Hence, the percent ionic character of the bond will be 62.5%.
