Answer

(C) $0.7572$

Work Step by Step

We use Dalton's law to calculate the total pressure $P_total=P_{H_2}+P_{N_2}+P_{Ar}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P_{total}=0.01887+0.3105+1.027=1.35637atm$ Now, we can calculate the mole fraction of $Ar$ $Mole \space fraction\space of Ar=\frac{P_{Ar}}{P_{total}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $Mole\space fraction \space of Ar=\frac{1.027atm}{1.35637atm}=0.7572$ Thus, option $C$ is correct.
