Solution

The correct options are
A $X e F_{2}$
B $X e O F_{4}$
D $C H_{3} C l$
Molecules with one central atom surrounded by four can have square planar shape. Therefore $X e F_{2}$ , $X e O F_{4}$ cannot have square planar shape.
In $C H_{3} C l$ it is $s p^{3}$ hybrid $C$ , therefore, its tetrahedral. Only $X e F_{4}$ has square planar shape and octahedral geometry.
