B)  two sp-sp sigma bonds and one p-p pi bond

C)  one \[s{{p}^{2}}-s{{p}^{2}}\]sigma bond, one p-p pi bond

D)  one \[s{{p}^{2}}-s{{p}^{2}}\]sigma bond, one \[s{{p}^{2}}-s{{p}^{2}}\]pi bond and one p-p pi bond

Correct Answer: D

Solution :

In benzene there is one \[s{{p}^{2}}-s{{p}^{2}}\sigma \]-bond, one \[s{{p}^{2}}-s{{p}^{2}},\pi \]-bond and \[p-p\pi \]-bond.
