(A) The shapes of methane $(CH_4)$,ethene $(C_2H_4)$ and ethyne $(C_2H_2)$ are tetrahedral,planar and linear respectively.In methane,the $C$ atom is $sp^3$ hybridized,resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.In ethene,the $C$ atoms are $sp^2$ hybridized,resulting in a planar geometry.In ethyne,the $C$ atoms are $sp$ hybridized,resulting in a linear geometry.

Match the compounds given in $Column\, I$ with the hybridisation and shape given in $Column\, II$ and mark the correct option.
$Column\, I$ $Column\, II$
$(A)\, XeF_6$ $(i)\, \text{Distorted octahedral}$
$(B)\, XeO_3$ $(ii)\, \text{Square planar}$
$(C)\, XeOF_4$ $(iii)\, \text{Pyramidal}$
$(D)\, XeF_4$ $(iv)\, \text{Square pyramidal}$
