Solution
The correct option is C Based on the formal charges on the N and O atoms, stability of the lewis structure can be predicted.
A lewis structure is stable when it has complete octet and the more electronegative element bears the negative charge. Option C has the molecule with complete octet of all the atoms and the more electronegative element O has the negative charge and hence, it is the most stable lewis structure.
