Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Option D is the correct Lewis structure of ozone.

Ozone is known to be an allotrope of oxygen which has three atoms of oxygen.

In the Lewis structure of ozone, one pair of oxygen is actually double-bonded while the other is single-bonded. In this structure, two oxygen atoms carry charges. In the drawing the Lewis structure of ozone, we discover that one oxygen atom of the ozone has a -1 charge and while another oxygen atom of the ozone has a +1 charge.
