Solution

The correct option is C square planar and octahedral
The molecular and domain geometry of $X e F_{4}$ respectively are square planar and octahedral. $X e F_{4}$ has ${s p}^{3}$ $d^{2}$ -hybridized $X e$ -atom having two lone pair of electrons and thus domain geometry is octahedral but molecular geometry is square planar due to lone pair effect.
