Solution

The correct option is C (a)(iii),(b)(i),(c)(iv),(d)(ii)
(a)−(iii),
XX has linear geometry as only two atoms are present.
(b)−(i),
XX3 has T-shaped geometry as 3 bond pairs and 2 lone pairs of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is trigonal bipyramidal.
(c)−(iv),
XX5 has Square - pyramidal geometry as 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair of electrons are present. The electron pair geometry is octahedral.
(d)−(ii)
XX7 has pentagonal bipyramidal geometry as 7 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons are present.
