Solution

The correct option is B ICl2
In XeF2, Xe is sp3d hybridised it means geometry is Trigonal bypyramidal. 3 lone pairs on equitorial position to minimise repulsion and 2 F atoms at axial position thus shape is linear.
(a) TeF2 six electrons in valance shell.
(b) In ICl2, I is sp3d hybridised it means geometry is Trigonal bypyramidal. 3 lone pairs on equitorial position to minimise repulsion and 2 Cl atoms at axial position thus shape is linear.
(c)In SbCl3, Sb is sp3 hybridised it means geometry is tetrahedral, but due to lone pair shape is pyramidal.
(d) BaCl2 is an ionic compound.
