You can see that the compound contains 7 single bonds, hence there is 7 sigma bonds. There is also a double bond, which consists of a sigma and a pi bond. Hence, adding them up, that will be 8 sigma bonds and 1 pi bond.

C3H6 can represent two different compounds: propene and cyclopropane.
Propene (H2C=CH-CH3) has 1 pi bond and 8 sigma bonds.
Cyclopropane has 9 sigma bonds and no pi bonds.

cyclopropane (C3H6), is an example three-center two-electron bonds found in diborane (B2H6), or as a representation of double or triple bonds within a compound that is an alternative to the sigma and pi bond model.
