Answer 1

The molecule geometry described is that of a central atom with two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds. This arrangement corresponds to a **square planar** geometry. The two lone pairs occupy axial positions, while the four bonds occupy the equatorial plane, leading to a square planar shape.

So, the correct answer is **square planar**.
