Answer:

c. pi bond

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi bonds are formed by the sideway overlap of two s-s atomic orbital or s-p atomic orbital. Pi bonds are covalent bonds which involves the mutual sharing of electrons between two non-metals. Pi bond is unsymmetrical along the axis between two atomic nuclei.

Sigma bond on the other hand involves a head on overlap of two s-s atomic orbital or s-p atomic orbital. Sigma bond is symmetrical along the axis between two atomic nuclei.
