A 
B 
C
A) Structure A, because all the formal charges equal 0
B) Structure B, because all the formal charges equal 0
C) Structure C, because all the formal charges equal 0.
D) Structure A, because the negative formal charge resides on the most electronegative atom
E) Structure C, because the negative formal charge resides on the most electronegative atom
