Answer:

The correct option is the structure in the option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonia contains a single nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms.

The structure present in option A shows a single nitrogen atom bonded with a single hydrogen atom hence it is not correct.

The structure in option B shows a nitrogen atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms hence it is also not correct.

The structure in option C shows a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms hence it is also not correct.

The structure in option D shows a nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms which is the correct structure of ammonia (NH3).
