E Correct answer
Explanation

XeOF5- has six bond pairs and one lone pair with pentagonal pyramidal shape. WCl2F4 has six bond pairs and a zero lone pair with octahedral geometry. TeCl4 has four bond pairs and one lone pair with seasaw geometry. XeO4 has four bond pairs and zero lone pair with tetrahedral shape. Hence, the representation of codes A - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4 is correct.
