Solution

The correct option is D OSF2
The species having a pyramidal shape according to VSEPR theory is OSF2. The central S atom has 3 bonding domains ( one S=O double bond and two SF single bonds) and one lone pair of electrons.

The electron pair geometry is tetrahedral and molecular geometry is pyramidal. This is similar to the ammonia molecule.
