The correct answer is:
$\left(\mathrm{SiH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}$
$\left(\mathrm{SiH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}$
In case of $\mathrm{N}\left(\mathrm{SiH}_3\right)_3 \mathrm{~N}$ atom is $s p^2$ hybridised, the lone pair is present in $2 p$ orbital and it is transferred to empty $d$ orbital of Si forming $d \pi-p \pi$ bond. Hence nitrogen with $s p^2$ hybridization has trigonal planar shape.
