Solution

The correct option is A is, iip, iiir, ivp, vq
(i)OSF2

steric number = (6+2)/2=4 so, sp3 - hybridised S atom, due to the presence of one lone pair shape is trigonal pyramidal. (i)(s)
(ii)O2SF2

steric number = (6+2)/2=4 so, sp3 - hybridised S atom, the shape and geometry is tetrahedral
(ii)(p)
(iii)XeF4

steric number = (8+4)/2=6 so, sp3d2 - hybridised Xe - atom.
Two lone pairs are placed above and below the plane so, shape is square planar (iii)(r)

(iv)ClO4

steric number = (7+1)/2=4 so, sp3 - hybridised Cl atom, tetrahedral. (iv)(p)

(v) I3

steric number = (7+2+1)/2=5 so, sp3d - hybridised I, three lone pairs at equatorial position hence linear shape
(v)(q)
