a. 3 single bonds
b. 2 single bonds and I double bond
c. 2 single bonds and I triple bond
d. 1 single bond and 2 double bonds
e. None of the above

Answer 1

b. 2 single bonds and I double bond

Step-by-step explanation:

The structural formular of acetylene is displayed in the attached image.

The following can be observed about the formular;

- A single bod between the Hydrogen and carbon atom

- A double bond between the carbon and carbon atom

- A single bod between the Carbon and hydrogen atom

Based on this, the correct option is;
