The correct answer is: II - molecular orbita
If \( z \)-axis is the molecular axis, then \( \Pi \) - molecular orbitals are formed by overlap of \( p x \) and py .The orbitals perpendicular
to the axis takes part in overlapping for \( \Pi \) - molecular orbitals formation, hence, \( \Pi \) - bond is formed.
