   Consider the molecules $CH_4$, $NH_3$ and $H_2O$. Which of the given statements is false?
   A The H–O–H bond angle in $H_2O$ is larger than the H–C–H bond angle in $CH_4$. B The H–O–H bond angle in $H_2O$ is smaller than the H–N–H bond angle in $NH_3$. C The H–C–H bond angle is $CH_4$ is larger than the H–N–H bond angle in $NH_3$. D The H–C–H bond angle in $CH_4$, the H–N–H bond angle in $NH_3$ and the H–O–H bond angle in $H_2O$ are all greater than 90°.
