Solution

Carbon Carbon single bond is also known as sigma bond. Double bond has one single that is sigma bond and one pi bond where as triple bond has one sigma and two pi bonds. Sigma bond is strong one!
But when we compare three bonds then triple bond is the strongest followed by double and then single because triple has sigma along with two pi bonds, double has one sigma with one pi and lastly single has just one sigma so interms of stability
Triple > double >single
