Solution

The correct option is B $S F_{4}$
$C F_{4}, C H_{4}, S i F_{4}$ molecule's geometry is tetrahedral. Because they don't have any lone pair of electrons. In case of $S F_{4}$ central atom sulfur contain one lone pair of electron so deviation occur in the structure and form see saw type of geometry.

$S F_{4} (s e e s a w)$
