Detailed Solution

SOF2 has sp3 hybridization. According to VSEPR theory,

Sulphur has a non-bonding pair of electrons on top, three downward legs of the pyramid are bonded to oxygen with a double bond & to each fluorine with a single bond.so the geometry is pyramidal.
SO2 is sp2 hybridized with three bond pairs and is trigonal.
BrF3 is sp3 d hybridized with trigonal bipyramidal shape.
SiO3-2 is sp2 hybridized with trigonal shape.
