Solution

The correct option is B a, d
sp3d hybridization can only be exhibited by those atoms that have d orbitals and we know that the second period elements do not have d orbitals, So these elements cannot exhibit sp3d hybridization. So from the given options C and B belong to the second period, so neither of them can exhibit sp3d hybridization.

Thus, option (b) is the correct answer.
