Solution

The correct option is C sp3d,sp3d2andsp3d
I3 is a AB2E3 type molecule where A is central atom, B is bond pair and E is electron pair. This type of molecule according to VSEPR theory shows
Electronic Structure:AB2E3
Electronic Geometry:trigonal bipyramidal
Hybridization at central atom:sp3d
ICl4 is AB4E2 molecule and it shows
Electronic Structure:AB4E2
Electronic Geometry:Octahedral
Hybridization at central atom:sp3d2
ICl2 is AB2E3 and it shows
Electronic Structure:AB2E3
Electronic Geometry:Trigonal bipyramidal
Hybridization at central atom:sp3d
