A

`+5`

B

`+4`

C

`-3`

D

`+3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Group 15 elements acts are lewis base in -2 oxidation state due to availability of lone pair of electrons on the central atom. This basic character of group 15 decreases down the group with an increases in the size of the central atom.
