The correct answer is -  There are '6' identical Cr – O bonds in the dichromate ion (Cr2O7–2)
In a dichromate ion (Cr2O7–2), there are 6 terminal Cr – O bonds. All these bonds are equivalent due to resonance.
The Dichromate ions (Cr2O7–2) are oxoanions of chromium in the oxidation state +6.
Hence option B is correct answer.
