Solution

The correct option is A $X e O_{3} F_{2}$ - Octahedral - ${s p}^{3} d$
The structure $X e O_{3} F_{2}$ is given.

No. of lone pair of $X e = 0$ and no. of bond pair $= 5$

Hybridisation of $X e = {s p}^{3} d$

Hence, the shape of $X e O_{3} F_{2}$ should be trigonal bipyramidal and not octahedral.

Therefore, option $D$ is correct.
