(A) If the $z$-axis is defined as the internuclear axis (molecular axis),then the $p_{z}$ orbitals overlap head-on to form a $\sigma$-bond. Since $p_{x}$ and $p_{y}$ orbitals are perpendicular to the $z$-axis,they undergo lateral (sideways) overlap. This lateral overlap of $p_{x}$ and $p_{y}$ orbitals results in the formation of $\pi$-molecular orbitals.
