Correct Option - 2

Detailed Solution:

For AB? compound possible geometry are

S. No.	Bond pair	Lone pair	Total	Hybridisation	Geometry	Polarity
1	4	0	4		Tetrahedral	non polar
2	4	1	5		Sea-saw	Polar
3	4	2	6		Square Planar	non polar

Square pyramidal can be polar due to lone pair moment as the bond pair moments will get cancelled out.
