Answer:

C: No correct response

Step-by-step explanation:

Bond length is simply defined as the distance between two atoms that are participating in a bond.

Now, looking at the options, none of the options correctly defines it this way. The closest is option E which is "distance between two electrons" but it uses the word electrons instead of atoms. Thus none of the statements are correct
