Correct option (iii)
If an electron pair is donated to a vacant orbital on one atom and a lone pair of electrons on the other, the bonding is designated pπ-dπ depending on the orbital to which the electron pair is donated and the orbital from which the electron pair is donated.
Because their valence shells lack d-orbitals, nitrogen, carbon, and boron cannot form a pi bond. Phosphorus, on the other hand, can produce pi bonds.
