Solution

The correct options are
A The electrons are not drawn with the appropriate spins
B This is not a picture of oxygen. It is nitrogen
D The electrons are not filled out according to Hund's Rule
The correct orbital rotation for oxygen is given by oxygen.
Thus given represent is wrong.
$∴$ Option B
