Solution

The correct options are
C $S O_{2}$ and $I_{3}^{+}$
D $I C I_{2}^{-}$ and $B e H_{2}$
(A) $B e C l_{2}$ & $C O_{2}$ has $s p$ hybridisation and linear geometry. Hence they have same hybridisation.

(B) $C O_{2}$ has $s p$ hybridisation and linear geometry.
$S O_{2}$ has $s p^{2}$ hybridisation and bent structure.
They have different hybridisation and different shape.

(C) $S O_{2}$ has $s p^{2}$ hybridisation and bent structure whereas $I_{3}^{+}$ has $s p^{3}$ hybridisation and $bent$ structure.

(D) $I C l_{2}^{-}$ has $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation and linear geometry whereas $B e H_{2}$ has $s p$ hybridisation and linear geometry.

Hence C and D, have different hybridisations but same shape.
