Solution
The correct option is A Octahedral Steric Number (x) = 12(s+v−q). where, s = number of monovalent surrounding atoms v = number of valence electrons on the central atom q = charge (with sign)
In case of SF6, s = 6, v = 6, q = 0 Hence, x = 6 ∴ Hybridisation becomes sp3d2 and geometry is octahedral.
