Solution
The correct option is CSCl4 SiCl4 is tetrahedral as it has four chlorine atoms attached tetrahedrally where as SCl4 has four chlorine atoms and a lone pair on sulfur which makes its structure see-saw and the remaining molecules are having tetrahedral geometry. So SCl4 is not iso structural with SiCl4 Hence option C is correct.
