The molecular shape of SiCl4 is B. tetrahedral.

The set of quantum numbers that is not possible is C. Row 3. This is because the maximum value for the magnetic quantum number (m) is equal to the principal quantum number (n) minus 1, and for Row 3, the maximum value of m would be 2. However, the third value in the set (3-2-12) indicates a value of 12 for m, which is not possible.
