Correct Answer - D
Out of all the group 15 elements it is nitrogen which is a gas and is diatomic in nature. Rest of the elements are solid and exist as tetratomic. Further out of all the halides of N, it is `NF_(3)` which is fairly stable. Rest of the halides `NCl_(3), NBr_(3),NI_(3)` etc are unstable.
