Solution

The correct option is C $s p^{3} d$
Hybridisation formula =surrounding atoms + $\frac{v a l e n o f (O - F) c e e l e c t r o n s}{2}$
$3 + \frac{7 - 3}{2} = 3 + 2$ bond lone pair pairs
Since there are 5 high electrons density region around central Cl atom, it shows $s p^{3} d$ hybridisation
