Answer:

CCl₄

Explanation:

The molecule with a tetrahedral molecular geometry is CCl₄.

We know this according the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory.

To have a tetrahedral shape, a molecule must be made up of 4 bond pairs and no lone pairs.

This is clearly exhibited in the compound given;

 The central atom has 4 valence electrons which is completed bonded by 4 chlorine atom.

There is no lone pair but we have 4 bond pairs and a tetrahedral shape is formed.
