In case of nitrogen, `NCl_(3)`is possible but not `NCl_(5)` while in case of phosphorous `PCl_(3)` as well as `PCl_(5)` are possible. It is due to

A

(1) availability of vacant d-orbital in P but not in N.

B

(2) lower electronegativily of P then N.

C

(3) lower tendency of H bond formation in P than N.

D

(4) occurrence of P In solid while N in gaseous state at room temperature.
