Answer

Answer:

C. one on every side before placing a second on any side

Brief Explanation:

In a Lewis symbol, valence - electrons are arranged one at a time on each of the four sides of the symbol (up, down, left, right) before pairing them up. This follows Hund's rule - like behavior for electron placement in the outermost shell representation.
