Solution
The correct option is ASeF4,XeO2F2 SeF4 and XeO2F2 are both sp3d hybridized, trigonal bipyramidal and see-saw shaped with 1 lone pair of electrons each.
SF4 has 1 lone pair, XeF2 has 3 lone pairs.
XeOF4 is square pyramidal with 1 lone pair, TeF4 is see-saw shaped with 1 lone pair.
SeCl4 has see-saw shape with 1 lone pair, XeF4 has a planar shape with 2 lone pairs.
