Answer:

B 3 lithlums

Explanation:

The charge on a Nitrogen ion is always -3.

 Nitrogen has an oxidation state of -3 and it implies that it must gain or share three electrons in order to be stable.

Since lithium has an oxidation state of +1, it implies that it will lose one electron to be stable.

Therefore, force every nitrogen atom, we are going to need three lithiums to create a balanced and complete bond specie.
