1. (A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
2. (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
3. (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
4. (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Correct answer: (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

Solution

BrF5 has a square pyramidal shape due to its five bonding pairs and one lone pair, while H2O has a bent shape because of its two bonding pairs and two lone pairs. ClF3 adopts a T-shape with three bonding pairs and two lone pairs, and SF4 has a see-saw shape with four bonding pairs and one lone pair.
