The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

We are given several orders and their corresponding properties. Let us check the correctness of each order and property:
- Order i: NH₃>H₂O>SO₂ (Bond angle): The bond angle in NH₃ (107.5°) is greater than that in H₂O (104.5°), which in turn is greater than SO₂ (119.5°). So, this match is correct.
- Order ii: H₂O>NH₃>HS⁻ (Dipole moment): H₂O has the highest dipole moment, followed by NH₃, and HS⁻ has the lowest dipole moment. Thus, this match is correct.
- Order iii: N₂>O₂>H₂ (Bond enthalpy): N₂ has the highest bond enthalpy due to its strong triple bond, followed by O₂, and then H₂ with the lowest bond enthalpy. This match is correct.
- Order iv: NO⁺>O₂⁺ (Bond order): NO⁺ has a higher bond order compared to O₂⁺, as indicated by molecular orbital theory. Hence, this match is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is \( {ii, iii, iv only} \).
