Solution

The correct option is C ClO3,SO23
ClO3,SO23 are isoelectronic and isostructural.
Total number of electrons present in ClO3=17+3(8)+1=42
Total number of electrons present in SO23=16+3(8)+2=42
Both contains one lone pair of electrons and three bonding domains.
Hence, the central atom in these undergoes sp3 hybridization which results in pyramidal geometry.
