  • A
    The $H - O - H$ bond angle in $H_2O$ is smaller than the $H - N - H$ bond angle in $NH_3.$
  • B
    The $H - C - H$ bond angle in $CH_4$ is larger than the $H - N - H$ bond angle in $NH_3.$
  • C
    The $H - C - H$ bond angle in $CH_4,$ the $H - N - H$ bond angle in $NH_3,$ and the $H - O - H$ bond angle in $H_2O$ are all greater than $90^o.$
