(D) To determine the geometry of the given species,we use the $VSEPR$ theory:$1$. $ICl_2^-$: The central $I$ atom has $7$ valence electrons,plus $2$ from $Cl$ atoms and $1$ from the negative charge,totaling $10$ electrons ($5$ pairs). It has $2$ bond pairs and $3$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$2$. $I_3^-$: The central $I$ atom has $7$ valence electrons,plus $2$ from surrounding $I$ atoms and $1$ from the negative charge,totaling $10$ electrons ($5$ pairs). It has $2$ bond pairs and $3$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$3$. $N_3^-$: The central $N$ atom is $sp$ hybridized with $2$ bond pairs and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.$4$. $ClO_2^-$: The central $Cl$ atom has $7$ valence electrons,plus $2$ from $O$ atoms and $1$ from the negative charge,totaling $10$ electrons ($5$ pairs). It has $2$ bond pairs and $2$ lone pairs (steric number $4$),resulting in a bent or non-linear geometry.

List-$I$ Molecule/ion	List-$II$ Bond pair : lone pair (on the central atom)
$A. ICl_2^-$	$I. 4 : 2$
$B. H_2O$	$II. 4 : 1$
$C. SO_2$	$III. 2 : 3$
$D. XeF_4$	$IV. 2 : 2$
