Solution

The correct option is C I, II and III
$S F_{4}$ molecule has one non-bonding electron pair on the central atom Sulfur.

$I C l_{3}$ molecule has two non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom Iodine.

$S O_{2}$ molecule has one non-bonding electron pair on the central atom Sulfur.

So the answer is D.
