Solution

The correct option is A double bond
The sharing of electrons between two atoms in a molecule leads to the formation of bond(s) between them.

When two atoms share two electrons between them in a molecule, a single bond is formed between them. For example, a hydrogen molecule.

When two atoms share four electrons between them in a molecule, a double bond is formed between them. For example, an oxygen molecule.

When two atoms share six electrons between them in a molecule, a triple bond is formed between them. For example, a nitrogen molecule.
