The pair having the similar shape is
BF3 and NF3
B.
In both central atom is sp3 hybridised hence, both have similar tetrahedral structure.

The correct order of increasing C-O bond length of CO, CO2 and CO is
CO < CO2 < CO
CO2 < CO < CO
CO < CO < CO2
CO < CO2 < CO
Covalent compounds have low melting point because
covalent molecules are held by weak van der Waal's force of attraction
covalent bond is less exothermic
covalent bond is weaker than ionic bond
covalent molecules have definite shape
