Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of cyanic acid. Cyanic acid is a simple compound consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen.

Identify the correct order of elements in the chemical formula. In chemistry, the order of elements in a formula typically follows the Hill system, where carbon atoms are listed first, followed by hydrogen, and then the rest of the elements in alphabetical order.

Consider the connectivity of atoms in cyanic acid. Cyanic acid is known to have a specific arrangement where the hydrogen is bonded to the oxygen, which is then bonded to the carbon and nitrogen.

Write the chemical formula based on the connectivity and order of elements. The formula should reflect the actual bonding and structure of the compound.

Review the options provided and select the formula that matches the correct structure and order of elements for cyanic acid.
