Explanation:
| Column I | Column II |
| (A) XeF6 | (1) sp3d3 – distorted octahedral |
| (B) XeO3 | (3) sp3 – pyramidal |
| (C) XeOF4 | (4) sp3 d2 – square pyramidal |

In XeF6, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3d3 hybridisation and the molecular geometry is distorted octahedral with 1 lone pair and 6 bond pairs of electrons.
In XeO3, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3 hybridisation and the molecular geometry is pyramidal with 1 lone pair and 3 bonding domains of electrons.
In XeOF4, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3d2 hybridization and the molecular geometry is square pyramidal with 1 lone pair and 5 bond pairs of electrons.
In XeF4, the central Xe atom undergoes sp3d2 hybridization and the molecular geometry is square planar with 2 lone pairs and 4 bond pairs of electrons.
