• A. 3 double bonds; 9 single bonds
• B. 6 double bonds; 6 single bonds
• C. 3 double bonds; 12 single bonds
• D. Zero double bonds; 12 single bonds

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 double bonds; 12 single bonds

Based on the above structure of cyclotrimetaphosphoric acid there are 3 double bonds; 12 single bonds are present.

Hence option C is correct.
