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
