Detailed Solution

 The structure of XeF4 is as follows.

C:\Users\CHHOTU\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Word\Screenshot (215).png

XeF4 is AB4 L2 molecule in which the Xenon is bonded with four fluorine atoms with 4 sigma bonds and xenon has two lone pairs (4 sigma bonds and 2 lone pairs).

So, the hybridisation is sp3 d2.

And the shape or geometry stands out to be square planar since all fluorines are in same plane and have angle of 90 degree between them.
