Solution

The correct option is C Triple Bond

A single nitrogen atom has five electrons in the valence shell, and it requires three more electrons to obtain a stable octet. Therefore, a nitrogen atom shares three electrons with another nitrogen atom through a triple bond in order to attain the octet configuration. A covalent bond is formed between two nitrogen atoms.
