Solution

have bonds and bonds. Bridging bonds have larger bond length than terminal bonds. Angle between terminal bonds is more than angle between bridging bonds if all terminal bonds are in one plane then bridging bonds are in perpendicular plane.
Therefore we can say that only statement (C) and (D) are correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
