B. A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II

Step-by-step solution

For C2H4\text{C}_2\text{H}_4 (Ethene), the structure is H2C=CH2\text{H}_2\text{C}=\text{CH}_2. It contains 44 C−H\text{C}-\text{H} single bonds and 11 C=C\text{C}=\text{C} double bond. A single bond is a σ\sigma bond, and a double bond consists of 11 σ\sigma and 11 π\pi bond. Total bonds: 5 σ5\ \sigma bonds and 1 π1\ \pi bond. Thus, A matches IV.

For C2H2\text{C}_2\text{H}_2 (Ethyne), the structure is HC≡CH\text{HC}\equiv\text{CH}. It contains 22 C−H\text{C}-\text{H} single bonds and 11 C≡C\text{C}\equiv\text{C} triple bond. A triple bond consists of 11 σ\sigma and 22 π\pi bonds. Total bonds: 3 σ3\ \sigma bonds and 2 π2\ \pi bonds. Thus, B matches I.

For CH4\text{CH}_4 (Methane), the central carbon atom is bonded to 44 hydrogen atoms via single bonds. Total bonds: 4 σ4\ \sigma bonds. Thus, C matches III.

For NH3\text{NH}_3 (Ammonia), the central nitrogen atom is bonded to 33 hydrogen atoms via single bonds and has 11 lone pair of electrons. Total bonds: 3 σ3\ \sigma bonds and one lone pair. Thus, D matches II.

The correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II.

Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
