Solution

The correct option is A $C N^{-}$
Pseudohalides are "fake halides." Their chemistry bears some resemblance to true halides such as $F^{-}$ ${C l}^{-}$ ${B r}^{-}$ and $I^{-}$ . Examples of pseudohalides include ${C N}^{-}$ , $N_{3}^{-}$ . These are generally weak Lewis bases that bear a formal -1 charge.
