(D) To determine the geometry of the molecules,we use the $VSEPR$ theory: $1$. $CO_2$ $(O=C=O)$ has $2$ bond pairs and $0$ lone pairs on the central atom,resulting in a linear geometry. $2$. $HCN$ $(H-C \equiv N)$ has $2$ bond pairs and $0$ lone pairs on the central carbon atom,resulting in a linear geometry. $3$. $C_2H_2$ $(H-C \equiv C-H)$ has a linear geometry due to $sp$ hybridization of carbon atoms. $4$. $H_2O$ $(H-O-H)$ has $2$ bond pairs and $2$ lone pairs on the central oxygen atom. Due to the presence of lone pairs,the geometry is bent or angular (non-linear).

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