\mathrm{(A)\; Steric \; Number=\frac{Valency+No.of \; Surrounding \; atoms-Charge}{2}}

1)\; \mathrm{BrF_{5} \; \; S.N=\frac{7+5}{2}=6\; \; \left [ 5\; bond\; Pair + 1\; lone \; pair \right ]}

                    Shape - Square Pyramidal

2) \mathrm{\left[\mathrm{CrF}_6\right]^{3-}S \cdot N=\frac{3+6+3}{2}=6 \quad[6 \text { bond pair }]}

                    Shape - Octahedral

3) \mathrm{O_3 \; \; \; S \cdot N=\frac{6+0}{2}=3 \quad[2\; bond \; Pair + 1 \; lone\; pair]}

                    Shape - bent

4) \mathrm{PCl}_5 \quad \mathrm{~S}.\mathrm{N}=\frac{5+5}{2}=5 \quad\left[\begin{array}{ll}5 \text{ bond pair}\end{array}\right]

                    Shape - Trigonal bipyromidal

\mathrm{A-II, B-I V, C-I, D-III}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3).
