Solution

The correct options are
A $C I F_{2}^{+} - s p^{3}$
B $C I F_{2}^{-} - s p^{3} d$
$C l F_{2}^{-}$ is $s p^{3} d$ hybridized (three lone pairs of $C l$ at three corners and two $F$ at vertices) and $C l F_{2}^{+}$ is $s p^{3}$ (two lone pairs on $C l$ and $2$ bond pairs with $F$ ) hybridized.
