Answer: E. trigonal planar

Step-by-step explanation:

The trigonal planar geometry is made up of 3 equally spaced sp2 hybrid orbitals arranged at angle 120° to each other, The molecule are electron deficient and does not follow octet rule. Therefore, a molecule containing an sp2 hybrid central atom has a trigonal planar geometry e.g boron hydride (BH3)
