Solution

The correct option is D

Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond


As number of shared electrons increases, the bond strength increases.

In triple bond, totally 6 electrons are shared. In double bond, totally 4 electrons are shared and in single bond only 2 electrons are shared. Thus the bond strength as follows:

Triple bond > Double bond > Single bond.
