The correct answer is:
square pyramidal
(i) $\mathrm{XeOF}_4$ has one oxygen atom, which will form double bond with Xe.
(ii) $\mathrm{XeOF}_4$ has four fluorine atoms, which form four single bond with Xe.
So, it has square pyramidal geometry.
Geometry of $\mathrm{XeOF}_4$:
Note: The shape is to minimise the repulsion.
