Detailed Solution

II is not an acceptable canonical structure because nitrogen has 10 valence electrons.
Since nitrogen has only four orbitals (one s and three p), it can accommodate a maximum of 8 valence electrons.
Thus due to lack of d orbitals, nitrogen cannot have 10 valence electrons.

N has 10 electrons around it.
