Detailed Solution

As we know that the bond order is inversely proportional to the bond length. The bond order of CO is maximum. Hence it will has the lowest bond order.

 B.O. 1 B.L. ; 

The bond order is found as,

CO 3.0 

CO2     2.0 

CO32  43

The correct increasing order of carbon-oxygen bond length is, CO<CO2<CO32.
