Solution

The correct option is C Stabilization energy
When 2 atomic orbitals overlap, constructive overlap gives molecular orbital which are lower in energy due to interactions between atomic orbitals or it can be said that newly formed atomic orbitals are stabilised. So, the amount of energy they are lower by atomic orbitals is called stabilisation energy.
