Solution

The correct option is A SeF4,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.

Hence, option A is correct.
