Solution

The correct options are
A Methane
B Ethane
${sp}^{3}$ hybridisation is observed when one s and three p orbitals of the same atom intermix to form four hybrid orbitals. The newly formed orbitlas are called ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised orbitals having identical shape and energy.

The given table shows the molecular formula and hybridisation of carbon atom present in the compound.
$\begin{matrix} C o m p o u n d & M o l e c u l a r F o r m u l a & H y b r i d i s a t i o n o f C a t o m E t h a n e & C H_{3} - C H_{3} & s p^{3} E t h y n e & C H \equiv C H & s p E t h e n e & C H_{2} = C H_{2} & s p^{2} M e t h a n e & C H_{4} & s p^{3} \end{matrix}$ Hence, carbon atom in methane and ethane is ${sp}^{3}$ hybridised.
