The correct option is C I in ICl+2

PO34 has 4 bond pairs and hence the hybridization is sp3 hybridized.
NO3 has three bond pairs and hence it is sp2 hybridized.
SO3 has three bond pairs and hence its is sp2 hybridized.
ICl+2 has four bond pairs and hence it is sp3 hybridized.
ICl4 has four bond pairs and two lone pairs and hence it is sp3d2 hybridized.
