Answer #1

Part A : correct option is : trigonal pyramidal

Part B : correct option is : polar

Part C : correct option is : bent (120o)

Part D : correct option is : polar

Explanation

According to VSEPR theory, a molecule where the central atom has three bonded pairs and one lone pair is of the type AX3E1 and has the shape trigonal pyramidal (example NH3) and is polar in nature because the net dipole moment is non-zero
