Answer:

Two covalent bonds between adjacent atoms in a molecule

Step-by-step explanation:

A covalent bond is a pair of electrons shared between adjacent atoms, so a double (covalent) bond is two pairs of electrons shared between adjacent atoms.

We usually represent a covalent bond by a line, so a double bond is two lines between adjacent atoms, as in H₂C=CH₂.

Two separate single bonds are NOT a double bond.
