C2H2 Because both the compounds have linear geometry due to SP hybridization.In NO2 due to 1 electron it has neither bent nor linear geometry.

@ amisha
option no 4 will turns out to be the correct option .
so, C2H2 will be the answer here .
in co2 the structure is linear and in c2h2 also the structure are linear ,
in co2 the bond angle is 180 degree and also in c2h2 the bond angle is 180 degree ,
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
ALL THE BEST ..

hgcl2 too will be counted as one of the correct answer as it too have a linear structure.therefore options one and fourth can both be counted as correct answers
