Answer:


C

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the species with delocalized molecular orbital

Delocalized molecular orbitals are the kinds of orbitals that are not particular to a single atom in the molecule but the entire molecule

This is a result of delocalized electrons in the molecule

An example of this is found in the trioxocarbonate (iv) ion
