Dear Student,

The strongest covalent bond will be the one with maximum overlapping
 Head on overlap i e
 sigma bond results in greater overlap and so it stronger than collateral or sidewise overlap i
e  π-bond
 The strongest covalent bond will be formed by s and p orbitals due to maximum overlapping
 Hence, correct answer is (1)
