Solution

The correct option is D 3
A nitrogen atom has five electrons in its outermost shell. In order to form a N2 molecule the nitrogen atoms share three pairs of electrons with each other hence gaining stability.
A pair of electrons constitute one single bond so a triple bond is formed between the nitrogen atoms in a N2 molecule.
