Detailed Solution

S1:N2H4 is pyramidal about each N atom because A pyramidal organizational structure is one in which the controlling shareholder at the top of the pyramid indirectly controls a corporation through layers of intermediary entities.

S2:NH2OH is pyramidal about the N atom and bent about the O atom because Due to the fact that the central nitrogen atom has 4 electron pairs around it (three bond pairs plus one lone pair), which makes it an AX3N type molecule, the molecular geometry of NH2OH is trigonal pyramidal, and its electron geometry is tetrahedral.

S3:CH3COOH is trigonal about the carbon atom because Carbon 2 is only attached to the three atoms, and it does also not contain any lone pair of electrons, hence, as per VSEPR theory, this atom holds the electron and molecular geometry of trigonal planar.

Hence, the option D is correct.
