<spanclass=′latex−bold′>(B)</span>2 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond<span class='latex-bold'>(B) </span> \text{2 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond}\qquad
<spanclass=′latex−bold′>(C)</span>1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds<span class='latex-bold'>(C) </span> \text{1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds}\qquad
<spanclass=′latex−bold′>(D)</span>3 pi bonds<span class='latex-bold'>(D) </span> \text{3 pi bonds}\qquad
