Answer

Both the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry are tetrahedral.

Work Step by Step

Because there are no lone pairs of electrons, the electron domain geometry and the molecular geometry are the same. There are four bonded domains, meaning the molecular geometry and thus the electron domain geometry are tetrahedral.
