Solution
The correct option is C XeF4 has sp3d2 hybridisation. Hence, it will have octahedral geometry. When we arrange all the four F atoms along with the 2 lone pairs in that geometry, it is found to have a square planar shape. There are four pairs of bonding electrons and two lone pairs in the molecule. The two lone pairs will be oriented at 180∘ to each other to minimize lone pair-lone pair repulsions.
