In general, bond length decreases as bond order increases. Bond II has the highest bond order (triple bond), followed by bond III (double bond), bond IV (single bond), and finally bond I (essentially no bond). Therefore, the order of decreasing bond length is II>III>IV>I, which corresponds to choice B.
