The bond angle in `H_2O` is nearly `105^@` whereas bond angle in `H_2 S` is nearly `92^@`. This is because.

A

Electronegativity of oxygen is lesser than that of sulphur

B

Oxygen is a gas whereas sulphur is solid

C

Sulphur contains d-orbitals where as oxygen does not

D

Lone pairs is sulphur occupy greater volume and hence cause greater lp-bp repulsions
