Solution

The correct option is A see saw
Sulfur tetra fluoride has 10 electrons around the central sulfur atom. This means there are five electrons pairs arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal shape with 102 degrees $F - S - F$ bond angles between the equatorial fluorine atoms and 173 degrees between the axial atoms. The remaining lone pair is equatorial giving an overall see-saw shape.
