Answer:
5 lone pairs.
Explanation:
Both sulfur and oxygen have 3 lone pairs each. Sulfur makes two double bond with the oxygen atoms, so 2 lone pairs are used up. And each oxygen has two lone pairs left with them after making a double bond with sulfur.
So 1 lp of sulfur + 2*2 lp of oxygen atoms = 5 lp
