Correct Answer
Bond strength is directly proportional to bond order; as the bond order increases, the bond enthalpy (bond strength) increases.

Explanation
The textbook states a general correlation that with an increase in bond order, bond enthalpy increases and bond length decreases. Therefore, bond strength is expressed as being directly related to the bond order.
