Solution

The correct option is C
Oxygen, Ammonium Chloride, Sulphuric acid.

Oxygen (O₂) has 2 Oxygen atoms,

Ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) has 1 nitrogen, 4 hydrogen and 1 chlorine atom.

Sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) has 2 hydrogen, 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen atoms.

Atomicity of oxygen(O₂), ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) and sulphuric acid (H₂SO₄) are 2, 6, and 7 respectively.

So, the order of atomicity is Oxygen < Ammonium chloride < Sulphuric acid
