Answer 2

The correct option is D.

• Interhalogen compounds are defined as compounds that contain two different halogen atoms.
• The general formula of an interhalogen compound is $XY_n$.
• Here X is a less electronegative atom between X and Y.
• Thus only $ICl_4^-$ contains two halogen atoms that are Iodine or I and another one is Cl. Here Iodine is less electronegative than Cl. Thus it is an interhalogen compound.
