Answer:

D.Tetrahedral

Step-by-step explanation:

The central atom has 0 lone pair and 4 bond pairs. Hybridization is sp³. The geometry is tetrahedral which has an angle of 109.5°.

According to VSEPR theory, each molecule arranges itself such that it faces minimum repulsion and the given molecule is of type
AB_4.

Therefore the answer will be D.

D.Tetrahedral
