Which of the following choices is not true?

Options:

There is a negative formal charge on the carbon atom. Carbon is relatively electropositive and would prefer to not have a negative formal charge.

Nitrogen is relatively electronegative and prefers a formal charge of 0 or −1 more than a formal charge of +1.

There is another resonance structure in which all of the formal charges are zero or −1.
