Solution

The correct option is C $S b C l_{3}$
As electronegativity of central atom decreases, bond angle decreases. $S b$ is the least electronegative and hence, it has the smallest bond angle.

The correct order of bond angle: $N C l_{3} > P C l_{3} > A s C l_{3} > S b C l_{3}$

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
