Answer:  B. trigonal planar

Explanation:

Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR) is a model to predict the geometry of the atoms making up a molecule where atoms are arranged such that the forces of repulsion are minimum.

If a central atom is bound to three electron domains ,the number of electron pairs is 3, that means the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar as the electron pairs will repel each other and attain a position which is most stable.

Example: BCl_3 with 3 electron domains has trigonal planar geometry.
