The geometry of a molecule depends upon ...

The geometry of a molecule depends upon the repulsions between electron pairs present in the valance shell of the central atom. LP - LP repulsions are greater than LP-BP which are greater than BP - BP. A pi bond can not decide the geometry of a molecule because pi bond has no independent exsistance. Deviations in bond angle are due to the presence of lone pairs.
Which of the following differs from the rest in geometry ?

A

`BF_3`

B

`SO_3`

C

`SO_(3)^(2-)`

D

`CO_(3)^(2-)`
