In a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO₂), there are no double bonds or single bonds as in organic molecules. Instead, it consists of one carbon atom double-bonded to two oxygen atoms. Each of these bonds is a double bond, not a single bond or triple bond. Here's a simplified structural representation of CO₂

In this representation, the lines between the atoms represent the double bonds. There are no single bonds (one line) or triple bonds (three lines) in CO₂.

So, the correct answer to your question is A

This is correct. CO₂ only has double bonds between carbon and oxygen atoms, and no single bonds.

This is incorrect. There are no single bonds in CO₂. The molecule consists of two double bonds.

This is incorrect. While there are two bonds in CO₂, both are double bonds, not single bonds.

This is incorrect because it implies the existence of three single bonds, which is not present in CO₂. All bonds are double bonds.

This is incorrect, as CO₂ does not contain four bonds of any kind. It only contains two double bonds.
