By your logic AC/DC is a cover band They've got 3 different members nowadays, including a different singer. Yet they sound like AC/DC.

Bon Jovi have 3 original members and sound nothing like Bon Jovi despite having the original singer.

Bounce have no original members and sound very much like Bon Jovi. They get closer to replicating Bon Jovi's studio sound than Bon Jovi have in about 20 years as Bon Jovi's live sound is very different from their studio sound.

Out of these 3, which is the cover band?

I know what you're trying to do and usually I appreciate your cheekiness, but this was not one of your finest pieces. A cover band is a band that plays covers, plain and simple. Like Bounce or Kon Chauvi. The fact that many of them sound exactly like the original recordings actually makes them 'more' cover bands, not less. Bon Jovi playing Bon Jovi songs is not a cover band, no matter how bad it sounds (and yes, it does sound bad).
