Correct answer: NO OPTION IS CORRECT AS WRITTEN; LIKELY INTENDED ANSWER IS A IF $N_3^-$ IS A MISPRINT FOR $N^{3-}$.

Definition of isoelectronic species
Isoelectronic species are atoms/ions/molecules having the same number of total electrons.
-
Check each option by counting electrons
Option A: , ,
-
For : Each nitrogen has atomic number . Negative charge means one extra electron:
-
For : Fluorine has atomic number .
-
For : Sodium has atomic number .
These are not all equal. So option A is not isoelectronic.
Note: If the intended species were instead of , then it would have electrons and option A would become correct. But as written, has electrons.
Option B: , ,
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
Not equal, so not isoelectronic.
Option C: , ,
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
Not equal, so not isoelectronic.
Option D: , ,
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
- : atomic number
Not all equal, so not isoelectronic.
- Conclusion
As written, none of the options contains a collection in which all species are isoelectronic.
The stored answer says A, which would be correct only if the first species were instead of .
Thus, there appears to be a misprint in the question/options.
