Solution

The correct options are
A $X e F_{2}, C O_{2}$
B $I_{3}^{-}, H g C l_{2}$
C $O C l^{-}, C O$
D $S O_{2}, O C l_{2}$
(a) Both $X e F_{2}$ and $C O_{2}$ are linear in shape.
$X e F_{2}$ undergoes $s p^{3} d^{2}$ hybridization and and $C O_{2}$ undergoes sp hybridization.
(b) Both $I_{3}^{-}$ and $H g C l_{2}$ are linear in shape.
$I_{3}^{-}$ undergoes $s p^{3}$ hybridization and $H g C l_{2}$ undergoes sp hybridization .
(c) Both $O C l^{-}$ and $C O$ are linear in shape.
$O C l^{-}$ undergoes $s p^{3}$ hybridization and $C O$ undergoes sp hybridization.
(d) Both $S O_{2}$ and $O C l_{2}$ are angular in shape.
$S O_{2}$ undergoes $s p^{2}$ hybridization and $O C l_{2}$ undergoes $s p^{3}$ hybridization.
Thus, all the four options are correct.
