Solution

The correct option is C TTFT
Hybridisation is a hypothetical concept which comprises of mixing of atomic orbitals with similar energy not electrons.

The number of hybrid orbitals is always equal to the number of mixed atomic orbitals.

The hybrid orbitals are equivalent in shape and energy which favours the maximum overlap of orbitals and gives rise to σ bonds only.
