The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Ethylene
 

Ethylene (C2H4) has the following bonding:

  • Each carbon is sp2 hybridized, forming three σ bonds (two with hydrogen and one with the other carbon).
  • There is one π bond between the two carbons formed by the overlap of unhybridized p orbitals.

Thus, ethylene has:

5 σ bonds and 1 π bond.
