Solution

The correct option is C $1 π -$ bonds and $3 σ -$ bonds
When two $s p^{2}$ orbitals are overlapped then one sigma bond is formed from two carbon atoms.
Two covalent bonds are formed from each carbon atoms with hydrogen by s- $s p^{2}$ overlap, when $2 p - 2 p$ orbitals are overlapped then the pi-bond between the carbon atoms perpendicular to the molecular plane.
Hence, option $C$ is correct.
