Solution

The correct option is B (i), (iii) and (iv) only
In SF4, sulfur atom contains one lone pair of electron and has sp3d hybridisation.
In XeO2F2, Xe atom contains one lone pair of electron and has sp3d hybridisation.
In ClOF3, Cl atom contain one lone pair of electron and has sp3d hybridisation.
So answer is B.
