The correct answer is:
square planar and square pyramidal
The hybridisation of $\mathrm{XeF}_4$ is $s p^3 d^2$. So, the geometry is square planar.
The hybridisation of $\mathrm{XeOF}_4$ is $s p^3 d^2$ and the geometry is square pyramidal with 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
The hybridisation of $\mathrm{XeOF}_4$ is $s p^3 d^2$ and the geometry is square pyramidal with 5 bond pairs and 1 lone pair.
