Solution

The correct option is B sp2 hybridized

The central carbon atoms are bonded to each other by a double bond and to two other carbon atoms by single bonds.

Now the number of sigma bonds by which one central carbon atom is bonded is 3
(double bond contains one sigma and one pi bond). Thus hybridisation is sp2.

Conclusion: hence the option (b) is correct.
