Solution

The correct option is C $s p^{2}$
A carbene molecule has two Hydrogen atoms or two alkyl groups attached to a neutral carbon atom. The carbon atom contains two valence and unshared electrons in it. It is represented as $H_{2} C :$ or $R_{2} C :$ . Thus, the hybridization of carbene is $s p^{2}$

Hence, the correct option is $A$
