Solution

The correct option is A lone pair - lone pair
According to VSEPR theory the electron pair repulsions in a molecule follow the order
lone pair - lone pair repulsions > lone pair - bond pair repulsions > bond pair - bond pair repulsions.
So, the lone pair - lone pair repulsions are the strongest repulsions in a molecule.
