Solution

Solution:-
Alkanes has greater bond length.
Hybridization influences bond length. Greater the s-character, closer the orbitals are to the nucleus and hence forms shorter bonds.
Since alkanes are sp3 hybridised, i.e., it has just 25%s-character which is least among all, i.e., alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, therefore it has greater bond length.
