Solution

The lewis structure of dinitrogen trioxide is shown below.
The central O atom is $s p^{3}$ hybridized (as in water) with 2 lone pairs and 2 bond pairs.
This results in bent geometry for central oxygen atom.
Each N atom is $s p^{2}$ hybridized with 2 bonding domains and one lone pair.
This results in bent geometry.
The given statement is true. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
