Correct answer
CNF3 - trigonal planar
Step-by-step explanation
NF3 has trigonal pyramidal geometry. Here central atom nitrogen has sp3 hybridization and one lone pair of electron. Because of lone pair there exist repulsion force between lone pair and bond pair of electrons, that is why bond angles are lower than tetrahedral bond angle.
