Calculate the ratio of $\sigma$ and $\pi$ bonds for the following compounds and determine the correct order:
$A$: Tetracyanomethane $(C(CN)_4)$
$B$: Carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$
$C$: Benzene $(C_6H_6)$
$D$: $1, 3$-Butadiene $(CH_2=CH-CH=CH_2)$

  • A
    $A = B < C < D$
  • B
    $A = B < D < C$
  • C
    $A = B = C = D$
  • D
    $C < D < A < B$
