Solution

The correct option is A SeF4,XeO2F2
(a) SeF4 and XeO2F2 are both sp3d hybridised and see-saw shaped with one lone pair of electron each.
(b) SF4 has one lone pair and XeF2 has 3 lone pairs.
(c) XeOF4 is sp3d2 with one lone pair.
TeF4 is sp3d with one lone pair.
(d) SeCl4 is sp3d with one lone pair.
XeF4 is sp3d2 with 2 lone pairs.
