The correct Lewis dot diagram for ammonia (NH₃) can be represented as:
```
H
|
H-N-H
```
In a more linear text form, it can be shown as:
```
H H
\ /
N
```
Where nitrogen (N) is the central atom and is bonded to three hydrogen (H) atoms with a lone pair of electrons.
From the options given (A, B, C, D), the diagrams you've provided are not depicted in a clear way, but if we evaluate based on the arrangement of atoms around nitrogen, we know that nitrogen should be in the middle with three hydrogens bonded to it.
Assuming each option is describing a similar structure, the best representation would be one where nitrogen is surrounded by three hydrogens. Hence, the choice with the arrangement H-N-H, H would correctly express the structure of ammonia.
Based on the evaluation of typical representation forms, the following might be inferred if the options reflect similar connectivity patterns. So options B and D appear the most logically coherent, but without further visuals indicating which is appropriately laid out, I suggest using the phrase pattern to assess the final choice.
If you can clarify or choose the structure with "N" central to three "H" atoms, that would be your correct representation for NH₃.
