Solution

The correct option is C A and B only
Isostructural species are those which have the same shape.
$S O_{4}^{2 -} and C r O_{4}^{2 -}$ have tetrahedral shape.
$S i C l_{4} and T i C l_{4}$ have tetrahedral shape.
$N H_{3}$ has trigonal pyramidal shape but $N O_{3}^{-}$ has trigonal planar shape.
$B C l_{3}$ has trigonal planar shape but $B r C l_{3}$ has T-shape.

So, option (c) is the correct answer.
