Detailed Solution

Since C2 has a bond order of 1/2(8-4)=2 it should be diamagnetic. Due to the existence of four electrons in two pi molecular orbitals, it is significant to notice that the double bond in  C2 is composed of both π- bonds. A double bond in the majority of the other molecules is composed of a sigma bond and a π-bond
