Solution

The correct options are
A $C_{2} H_{2}$
C $H g C l_{2}$
$H g C l_{2}$ and $C_{2} H_{2}$ have shape similar to $C O_{2}$ . All of these molecules have linear shape.

In $H g C l_{2}$ , $C_{2} H_{2}$ and $C O_{2}$ , the central atom is sp hybridised which results in bond angles of 180 $^{o}$ .

Hence, options $A$ and $C$ are correct.
