In the co-ordinate covalent bond between N and S,
N the donor atom is more electronegative than S the
acceptor atom. Therefore the contribution of the co-
ordination covalent bond is neglected and as such the
O.N. of S =0.

Oxidizing power of elements increases in
electrochemical series on moving up to down so
decreasing order of oxidizing power is B >A> C.
