Solution

The correct option is A N
Nitrogen has some unique ability to form pπpπ bonds with itself and with other elements of smaller size & high electronegativity. Nitrogen exists as diatomic molecule (N2) which has a triple bond between N atoms (NN).
On the other hand heavier elements of group 15 do not form pπpπ bonds as their atomic orbitals are large and they diffuse. So that they cannot have effective overlapping.
