Solution

The correct option is D ${S O}_{4}^{2 -}, C l O_{4}^{-}$
The geometry of the given species are as follows:
A.) ${C O}_{2} \to$ linear
${S O}_{2} \to$ angular

B.) ${N H}_{3} \to$ tetrahedral
${B H}_{3} \to$ trigonal planar

C.) ${C O}_{3}^{2 -} \to$ triangular planar
${S O}_{3}^{2 -} \to$ trigonal pyramidal

D.) ${S O}_{4}^{2 -} \to$ tetrahedral
${C l O}_{4}^{-} \to$ tetrahedral

${S O_{4}}^{2 -}$ and ${C l O_{4}}^{-}$ show similar geometry.
