The correct answer is: distorted octahedral and pyramidal
$\begin{array}{ll}\frac{\mathrm{XeF}_{6}}{\downarrow}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow & \frac{\mathrm{XeO}_{3}}{\downarrow}+6 \mathrm{HF} \\ \mathrm{Sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{3} \text { Hybridisation } & \mathrm{Sp}^{3} \text { Hybridisation } \\ \text { (distorted octahedral) } & \text { (Pyramidal) }\end{array}$
