Solution

The correct option is A \N

In BrF5, there are 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair on Br atom and hence the hybridization is sp3d2, the geometry and shape are octahedral and square pyramidal respectively. Due to lp-bp repulsions, the bond angles are lower than 90(as in octahedral). Hence there are no bond angles with 90.
