Solution

The correct option is B I
In oxime, nitrogen is attached to carbon by a double bond (II), whereas in nitroso form, nitrogen is attached to oxygen by a double bond(I). Greater the electronegativity difference between the atoms, stronger is the bond. Therefore nitroso form is more stable than the oximino form. Therefore, option A is correct.
