Solution
The species having tetrahedral shape is `bbunderline([NiCl_4]^(2-))`.
Explanation:
[NiCl4]2− has a tetrahedral shape because nickel in the +2 oxidation state prefers a tetrahedral geometry with chloride ligands. The other complexes listed, such as [PdCl4]2−, [Ni(CN)4]2−, [Pd(CN)4]2−, have square planar geometries.
