**Which is an accurate illustration of the dipole for the structure below?**

(A diagram showing four different molecular structures labeled A, B, C, and D for SO₂ with two oxygen atoms double-bonded to a sulfur atom.)

A) Only oxygen atoms are pointing away from each other and the dipole is directed toward the central sulfur atom.

B) Both the oxygen atoms are pointing slightly away in a split directional manner, and the dipole is directed improperly, not indicating the net dipole correctly.

C) This diagram shows both the oxygen atoms pointing inward towards the sulfur atom, and the dipole depicted is directed towards the sulfur atom but might not be correctly representing the vector of the net dipole moment.

D) Diagram shows the oxygen atoms pointing slightly outward with the dipole directed towards the central sulfur atom but it's hard to justify this as the correct representation of the net dipole moment.

**Options:**
- ☐ Diagram B.
- ☐ Diagram C.
- ☐ Diagram D.
- ☑ Diagram A.

**Analysis of Each Diagram:**

- *Diagram A*: Shows the dipole arrows pointing toward the central atom S, which forms a reasonable representation of its vector sum resultant dipole moment direction.
- *Diagram B*: The dipoles are split between each oxygen, not clearly highlighting the net resultant direction accurately.
- *Diagram C*: The dipoles are collectively wrongly pointing towards both the side O's without defining exact net resultant.
- *Diagram D*: Demonstrates slight deviation in dipole positioning, decentralizing net resultant exact depiction.

The correct answer is **Diagram A** representing the net dipole moment direction correctly in the structure shown.
