Using Cartesian axes on each atom as a basis, a vibrational spectroscopist determines that the allowed molecular motions of the square pyramidal molecule MoOF4 (point group C4v) have symmetries 4A1 + A2 + 2B1 + B2 + 5E. How many bands should she expect to see in the IR spectrum of the molecule, and how many in the Raman spectrum?

A: 2 IR and 4 Raman B: 3 IR and 6 Raman C: 4 IR and 7 Raman D: 6 IR and 9 Raman E: 9 IR and 11 Raman
