The correct answer is: $\mathrm{XeO}_3, \mathrm{XeOF}_4, \mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2$
Complete hydrolysis of $\mathrm{XeF}_6$ produces xenon trioxide.
$$
\mathrm{XeF}_6+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{KeO}_3+6 \mathrm{HF}
$$
Whereas partial hydrolysis of $\mathrm{XeF}_6$ form different products.
$$
\begin{gathered}
\mathrm{XeF}_6+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{XeO}_2 \mathrm{~F}_2+4 \mathrm{HF} \\
\mathrm{XeF}_6+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \longrightarrow \mathrm{XeOF}_4+2 \mathrm{HF}
\end{gathered}
$$
