Detailed Solution

The group having triangular planar structures is CO32-NO3-,SO3
In CO32- ion, C atom is sp2 hybridized. This results in triangular planar structure.
In NO3-ion, N atom is sp2 hybridized. This results in triangular planar structure.
In SO3, S atom is sp2 hybridised. This results in triangular planar structure. 

In all above molecules/ions, the central atom has 3 bonding domains and bond angle of 120°.
Note:
NCl3,NF3 and NH3 are pyramidal.
BCl3 and BF3 have triangular planar structure.

Hence, the correct option is (B)
