Solution

The correct option is C $N H_{3}$
Bond angles decreases down the group. Therefore, bond andle of $H_{2} O > H_{2} S$ .
Also, bond angle of $H_{2} O < N H_{3}$ as lone-lone pair repulsion on oxygen is more effective compared to other repulsions (Nitrogen has only one lobe pair). Hence, ammonia has the highest bond angle.
