Answer:

C. Tetrahedral

Explanation:

Tetrahedral would be the correct choice because the central atom has 4 domains (1 bond counts as 1 domain so 4 bonds =4) and no lone pairs which means it has tetra (which translates to four) domains hence tetrahedral.

Tetrahedral is the shape of a molecule that has 4 atoms bonded to a central atom and no lone pairs of electrons. Hence, option C is correct.

What is an atom?

An atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons.

Tetrahedral would be the correct choice because the central atom has 4 domains (1 bond counts as 1 domain so 4 bonds =4) and no lone pairs which mean it has tetra (which translates to four) domains hence tetrahedral.

Hence, option C is correct.
