A

CO

B

`CO_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`CO, CO_(2) and P_(2)O_(5)` are covalent compounds having their molecular lattice. But `SiO_(2)` is a covalent compound having 3-dimensional network structure and it has covalent lattice, so M.P. of `SiO_(2)` is maximum.
