Solution

The correct option is D $N {C l}_{3}$
In $N C l_{3}$ , nitrogen and chlorine have almost same electronegativities resulting in non-polar bonds. Nitrogen does not have empty d-orbitals so the hydrolysis takes place with a donation of a lone pair of electrons by the nitrogen to the hydrogen atom of water.
$N C l_{3} + H_{2} O ⟶ H O C l + N H_{3}$
