Answer:

Option "B" is correct.

Explanation:

According to VSEPR theory, There are repulsion forces exists among the bond pair - bond pair or bond pair - lone pair of electrons. In NH_{3} and  CH_{4}, the number of electron pairs are same but methane has all the four bond pairs where in ammonia, three bond pairs and one lone pair exists. And thus there are repulsion forces possible in between the lone pair and bond pair of electrons thus the arrangement of electron pairs around both the molecules is same or different depending up on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion.
