Correct answer: "two covalent bonds between adjacent atoms in a molecule."

Brief explanation: a double bond is formed when two atoms share two pairs of electrons (one sigma bond and one pi bond), commonly seen as C=C, C=O, etc. It is between atoms in the same molecule, not between separate molecules.
