:
Si belongs to group 14 , has 4 valence electrons, undergoes 
-hybridization to form a tetrahedral geometry. 
in 
is in sp-hybridization and forms linear shape. 
in 
is in 
- hybridization and forms a squarepyramidal geometry with one lone pair.
has 
in 
- hybridization and forms an angular geometry with one lone pair.
Thus, only I is correct.
