The most unlikely representation of resonance structures of p-nitrophenoxide ion is

Correct answer

2

Step-by-step solution

Among the given structures, the most unlikely structure is given in option C because in this structure N is shown to be pentavalent but N-atom can not have more than 4 bonds as it has only 1s and 3p orbitals and no d orbital.
