Correct order of indicated bond-length

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Bond length is inversely proportional to bond order.

ℓ₁ is in 1,3-cyclohexadiene; due to conjugation, the indicated single bond gets partial double-bond character, so it becomes shorter than a normal C–C bond.

ℓ₂ is the single bond adjacent to a double bond in methyl cyclohexene; hyperconjugation gives slight partial double-bond character, so its length decreases slightly.

ℓ₃ is a normal C=C bond in cyclohexene and is the shortest.

Therefore, ℓ₁ > ℓ₂ > ℓ₃.
