Solution

The correct option is C All the above are correct statements
$⟶$ This describes planar geometry with empty p orbital.
$⟶$ 3 $σ$ Bonds- due to which it is ${s p}^{2}$ hybridized.
$⟶$ It is electron deficient with 6 electrons in valence shell. Therefore carbonations are often reactive, seeking to fill the octet of valence electrons.
