The molecule you are describing has a central atom with two lone pairs on opposite sides and four single bonds. This arrangement suggests that the molecule adopts a geometry that minimizes the repulsion between the lone pairs and the bonded atoms.
Since the lone pairs are positioned opposite each other, they will influence the geometry of the bonded atoms. The four single bonds will create a square planar shape in this case.
Therefore, the correct answer is: C. square planar
