The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
Dinitrogen $(N_2)$ is chemically unreactive at ordinary temperature. The N-N bond in nitrogen molecule is a triple bond $(N \equiv N)$ with a bond distance of 109.8 pm and bond dissociation energy of $946 kJ mol^{-1}$. The low reactivity of nitrogen is due
to fairly high bond dissociation energy of the
molecule.

Approach Solution -2
Nitrogen is an inactive element as it has a high bond dissociation energy due to the presence of the triple bond N≡N. Hence, it is viewed as a non-reactive element.
