Correct Answer - B
(A)The bond angle decreases with decrease in electronegativies and increase in size of central atom. Hence the correct order of O-X-O bond angle is `CiO_3^(-) gt BrO_3^(-)`
`{:(,CIO_3^(-),107^(@),BrO_3^(-),104^@),((B),AsI_3,100.2^@ ,Sbl_3,90^@),(( C),SbBr_3,98.2^@,Sbl_3,99^@),((D),NH_3 , 106.6^@ ,NF_3,102.2^@):}`
