Detailed Solution

Pi bonds are formed by the sidewise positive (same phase) overlap of atomic orbitals along a direction perpendicular to the internuclear axis. During the formation of π bonds, the axes of the atomic orbitals are parallel to each other, whereas the overlapping is perpendicular to the internuclear axis.

Hence, the option C is correct.
