B) \[B{{F}_{3}},PC{{l}_{3}},Xe{{O}_{3}}\]

C) \[Cl{{F}_{3}},XeO{{F}_{2}},XeF_{3}^{+}\]

D) \[S{{F}_{4}},Xe{{F}_{4}},CC{{l}_{4}}\]

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

                \[Cl{{F}_{3}},XeO{{F}_{2}}\And XeF_{3}^{+}\]are \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]hybridized with 2 lone pair e's, hence all have (T-shape) identical shape.
