The correct answer is:
Xe has a lone pair in
Due to the presence of six fluoride ligands and one lone pair of electrons in , the structure lacks perfect octahedral symmetry and is disordered. In all the valence shell electrons of xenon are involved in the bonding with oxygen and hence, no lone pair of electrons is present. So, it has perfect octahedral geometry.
