Solution

The correct options are
A $N C l_{3}$
B $N B r_{3}$
C $N I_{3}$
Nitrogen has very small size as compared to the halogens, which have much larger sizes. Due to this, they can not remain bonded to the nitrogen atom and hence are highly unstable. $N F_{3}$ is stable because fluorine and nitrogen have comparable sizes and electronegativity.
