A Correct answer
Explanation

BH2+ has sp hybridisation and zero number of lone pair of electrons with linear shape. SnBr2 has sp2 hybridisation and one lone pair of electrons with V-shaped geometry. XeF3+ has sp3d hybridisation and two lone pair of electrons with T-shaped geometry. IF5 has sp3d2 hybridisation and one lone pair of electrons with square pyramidal geometry. Hence, the representation of codes A - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3 is correct.
