option C.

Kp and Kc are the equilibrium constants of ideal gas mixtures considered under reversible reactions.

Backward Reaction

The relation between Kp and Kc is represented as 

Vapour Pressure

K

∆ng

=K  [RT]

p

c

We know that, ∆ng=mole of product- mole            of reactant From the above equation, we have ∆ng = 2-(2+1)            ∆ng = 2-(3)            ∆ng = -1.

Substituting for ∆ng, 

-1
