Answer #1

option C.) is correct. because the lone pair electrons in molecules occupy more space as compared to the bonding pair electrons. This causes greater repulsion between lone pairs of electrons as compared to the lone pair -bond pair and bond pair-bond pair repulsion.Hence interaction is more in bond pair- bond pair due to less repulsion.
