Solution

The correct option is C sp3
  • Hybridization of atom in molecules can be predictable by VSEPR theory.
  • The structure of crown sulphur is:


lone pairs=2
bond pairs=2
total electron pairs=4

so according to VSEPR
total electron pairs lone pairs bond pairs hybridization
2 0 2 sp
3 1 2 sp3
4 0 4 sp3
4 1 3 sp3
4 2 2 sp3
5 0 5 sp3d
5 1 4 sp3d

Thus, the hybridization of sulphur is sp3
