Pi bond is formed by the overlap of
A) s-s orbitals
B) s-p orbitals
C) p-p orbitals on bond axis
D) p-p orbitals in sideways manner

Pi bond is formed by pi-pi overlap sideways, this also suggests that pi bond is a weak bond

D.p-p orbitals in sideways manner

D. p-p orbitals in a sideways manner. If the overlap takes place on the internuclear axis(take for example z-axis) then it is a sigma bond. Therefore the overlap which takes place on the other two axes(x-axis and y-axis) is a pi-bond.
 
Hope this helps!!!
