Detailed Solution

(1) PbBr4 , PbI4 is unstable compounds and can't exist in nature

Reason:   Iodine, Bromine are less Electronegative  hence. they can't activate (excite) the 'S' electrons present in the valence sell

(i.e Inert pair effect) and they can't oxidize the Pb+2 to Pb+4

(2) PbF4 , PbCl4 are exist in nature

Reason : Fluorine , Chlorine are more Electronegative hence They can activate (excite) the 'S' electrons present in the valence sell

and oxidize the Pb+2 to Pb+4
