Solution

The correct option is A K2[PdBr2Cl2], sp3, tetrahedral
(a) K2[PdBr2Cl2]: dsp2, square planar geometry.
(b) [Ni(CO)4]: sp3, tetrahedral.
(c) [Fe(NH3)6]SO4: sp3d2, octahedral.
Here Fe is in (+2) oxidation state and NH3 acts as weak field ligand which does not cause pairing. So outer d orbital will participate in hybridisation.
(d) [Fe(NH3)6]2(SO4)3: d2sp3, octahedral.
Here Fe is in (+3) oxidation state and NH3 acts as strong field ligand which cause pairing. So inner d orbital will participate in hybridisation.
