Detailed Solution

 According to the electron-dot structure, there are 12 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.
Now we have to calculate the formal charges of each oxygen atom.
 

Formal charge=           Valence electrons-Non-bonding electrons Bondingelectrons 2  Formalcharge on O1=6262=+1  Formal charge on O2=6442=0  Formal charge on O3=6622=1

Hence, the correct option is (D).
