Solution

The correct option is B CO23NO3,SO3
The group having triangular planar structures is CO23NO3,SO3
In CO23 ion, C atom is sp2 hybridised. This results in triangular planar structure.
In NO3 ion, N atom is sp2 hybridised. This results in triangular planar structure.
In SO3, S atom is sp2 hybridised. This results in triangular planar structure.
In all the above molecules/ions, the central atom has 3 binding domains and a bond angle of 120.
Note:
NCl3,NF3andNH3 are pyramidal.
BCl3andBF3 have triangular planar structure.
