I think A and is the answer

A) 22

  • In a single bond one pair of electrons is shared, with one electron being contributed from each of the atoms.
  • Double bonds share two pairs of electrons and triple bonds share three pairs of electrons. Bonds sharing more than one pair of electrons are called multiple covalent bonds.

In the given molecule:

There are total 7 single bonds and 2 double bonds.

As we know, In a single bond one pair of electrons is shared and double bonds share two pairs of electrons.

Thus,

Total number of shared electrons in a molecule= 7*2+2*4=14+8=22

So, total number of shared electrons in a molecule is 22.

Therefore, option A) is correct.
