In a covalent bond, electrons are always shared rather than transferred so we discard options 3 and 4.

Because it is a multiple bond we know that there is more than one electron pair being shared so we conclude that the correct answer is 2.

Answer:The correct answer is option (2).

Explanation:

A covalent bond is defined as sharing of the  electrons between two atoms with less or zero difference in their electronegativites.

A multiple covalent bonds are those bond where more than one bond is present. Like double or triple bonds.

In double covalent bonds there are 4 electrons are shared.

in triple covalent bonds there are 6 electrons are shared.
