(C) The molecular shapes correspond to the following geometries:
$(1)$ Linear $(B-A-B)$: $HgCl_2$ (sp hybridization).
$(2)$ Trigonal planar: $BF_3$ ($sp^2$ hybridization).
$(3)$ Tetrahedral: $CH_4$ ($sp^3$ hybridization).
$(4)$ Trigonal bipyramidal: $PCl_5$ ($sp^3d$ hybridization).
Therefore,the correct matching is $(1-C, 2-D, 3-B, 4-A)$.
