The answer is double covalent.

London Moses · Answer 2

Since the C is bonded to 2 H atoms,

it needs two more bonds to complete the octet of C (as C forms four bonds in total), hence C-C bond is double covalent bond

The bonded C atom is shown as bold C here:

-C=CH2

The bond between the two C atoms is Double Covalent.
