Detailed Solution

SCl6 does not exist.

The d orbitals of S must participate in hybridization for SCl6 to develop sp3d2. The energy of sulfur's d orbitals is sufficiently decreased in the presence of electronegative elements like F for the electrons to be promoted, but the electronegativity of Cl relative to sulphur is not high enough to drop the d orbital's energy to the level needed to stabilize the system. Additionally, there will be too much steric strain if sulphur is surrounded by six large Cl atoms.

Hence, option D is correct.
