Detailed Solution

Strategy: Group noble gas species by their isostructural nature.

Step 1: Structural Comparison Identify which pairs of molecules/ions have the same number of electron pairs and lone pairs on the central atom.

Step 2: Selection The pair identified as isostructural (e.g., \ceXeF4\ce{XeF4} and \ceBrF4\ce{BrF4^-}) provides the answer.

Answer: (Option) [b] [Based on isostructural pair in question]\boxed{\text{Answer: (Option) [b] [Based on isostructural pair in question]}}
