Answer:

carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Explanation:

Bond strength depends on the bond order of a bond. The higher the bond order, the greater the bond strength since shorter bonds are stronger than longer bonds.

The carbonate ion has a bond order of 1.33, carbon dioxide has a bond order of 2 while carbon monoxide has a bond order of 3.

Since the compound with the highest C-O  bond order has the strongest C-O bond, then carbon monoxide possesses the strongest C-O bond.
