Solution
The correct option is C Number of lone pairs and bond pairs
On the basis of number of lone pairs and bond pairs, shape of the molecule can be predicted. For example, for 1 lone pair and 3 bond pairs, the molecular shape is pyramidal. For 0 lone pair and 6 bond pairs, the molecular shape is octahedral.
