Solution

The correct option is D $O S F_{2}$
The species having a pyramidal shape according to VSEPR theory is $O S F_{2}$ . The central S atom has 3 bonding domains ( one $S = O$ double bond and two $S - F$ 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.
