The image displays a distorted octahedral geometry.

(I) SF₆: Octahedral (sp³d², 0 lone pairs).

(II) IF₅: Square pyramidal (sp³d², 1 lone pair).

(III) XeF₆: Distorted octahedral (sp³d³, 1 lone pair).

(IV) IF₆⁻: Distorted Octahedral (sp³d³, 1 lone pairs).

(V) XeF₅⁺: Square pyramidal (sp³d², 1 lone pair).

Thus, only XeF₆ and IF₆⁻ exhibits the distorted octahedral geometry shown.
