(D) To determine the number of lone pairs on the central atom,we use the formula: $	ext{Lone pairs} = 	ext{Steric number} - 	ext{Number of bonded atoms}$.      Compound    Lone pairs on central atom        $A$. $[ClO_3]^-$    $1$        $B$. $XeF_4$    $2$        $C$. $SF_4$    $1$        $D$. $[I_3]^-$    $3$  In $[I_3]^-$,the central iodine atom has $3$ lone pairs. Therefore,it has the maximum number of lone pairs.

List-$I$ (Species)	List-$II$ (Number of lone pairs of electrons on the central atom)
$(a)$ $XeF_{2}$	$(i)$ $0$
$(b)$ $XeO_{2}F_{2}$	$(ii)$ $1$
$(c)$ $XeO_{3}F_{2}$	$(iii)$ $2$
$(d)$ $XeF_{4}$	$(iv)$ $3$
