b.double < single < triple
c.single < triple < double
d.triple < double < single?

Answer 1

The sequence that represents the proper order of increasing bond strength is A. single bond >double bond>triple bond. Single bond is normally present in saturated compounds such as alkanes, while double bands and triple bonds are present in unsaturated compounds such as alkenes and alkynes.
