Solution

The correct option is A (a)(p); (b)(q); (c)(s); (d)(r)
We could get to the solution by applying the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory on molecules.

But ICl has only two atoms and since there is just a single sigma bond between the halogen atoms, it will be linear.

From the other options, since we are only required to get the shapes, BrF+2 has to be bent. No other molecule (from the given) shall correspond to this shape. The following is square planar:
