    Formal Charge is Calculated usinf following Formula,

    Formal Charge = [# of Valence e⁻] - [# of Lone Pair e⁻ + 1/2 # of Bonding e⁻]

    Lets calculate formal charge of Nitrogen in structure 3,

    Formal Charge = [5] - [6 + 2/2]

    Formal Charge = [5] - [6 + 1]

    Formal Charge = [5] - [7]

    Formal Charge = - 2

    You can calculate Formal charge for each atom in each resonating structure.

    Also, the structure B dominates because the oxygen atom has a negative charge and being more electronegative in nature it is plausible.
