Solution

The correct option is A $C - C$
The decreasing order of the extent of overlap is $2 p - 2 p > 3 p - 3 p > 4 p - 4 p > 5 p - 5 p$ . As the overlap decreases, the bond strength and the bond energy decreases. With increase in the atomic number, bond length increases and the atomic number decreases. Hence, $C - C$ bond has highest bond energy.
