• B. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
• D. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Answer 2

NH$_3$: Trigonalpyramidal ({sp}$^3$ hybridization with one lone pair on N).
BrF$_5$: Squarepyramidal ({sp}$^3${d}$^2$ hybridization with one lone pair on Br).
PCl$_5$:Trigonalbipyramidal ({sp}$^3${d} hybridization, no lone pairs).
CH$_4$: Tetrahedral ({sp}$^3$ hybridization, no lone pairs).
Matching: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
Final Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
