Solution

The correct option is C

sp3d, Irregular tetrahedral


Lets try to find out ep value and then geometry.

IF+4 ep = (7+41)2 = 5[Trigonal Planar]

Ep = 5 sp3d hybridization

Because F is most electronegative, lone pair and F (equatorial plane) will repel each other.

If will make Irregular Tetrahedral.
