I Think it is Carbon Monoxide Because of the Following Reasons :


\clubsuit From the Picture, We can Notice that the Both Atoms are Approximately of Same Size or Diameter. Carbon and Oxygen have Approximately Same Diameter.


\clubsuit It Cannot be Nitrogen, Because the Color of Atoms is Different. So, They must be of Different Element's Atoms.


\clubsuit It Cannot be Krypton, Because Krypton is a Noble Gas it does not Pair up with other Atoms.


\clubsuit It Cannot be Hydrogen Chloride, Because There is a Big Difference between the Size of Hydrogen and Chlorine Atom.


\clubsuit It Cannot be Sulphur dioxide, Because Sulphur dioxide Contains 3 Atoms. One Sulphur and Two Oxygen Atoms.
