Q. Atomic orbitals of comparable energy undergo hybridisation.

In the valence bond theory, hybridization of orbitals is an integral part of the bond formation. Hybridisation consists of mixing or a linear combination of the "pure" atomic orbitals in such a way as to form new hybrid orbitals such as

s p, s p^{2}, s p^{3}, s p^{3} d, s p^{3} d^{3}

Which of the following atomic orbitals does not participate in trigonal bipyramidal hybridization i.e.
