We know:
b = 4 x volume occupied by 1 mole of gas molecules.
Thus, we have:

b=4\times N_0 \times \left ( \frac{4}{3}\Pi r^3 \right )

3.22 \times 10^{-5}=4\times 6.023 \times 10^{23} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{22}{7}\times r^3

r^3 =\left [\frac{3.22 \times 10^{-5} \times 3 \times 7}{4\times 6.023 \times 10^{23} \times 4 \times 22} \right ]^\frac{1}{3}

Thus, r = 0.147nm and d = 0.294
Therefore, Option(3) is correct
