Solution

The correct options are
A d2sp3 hybridisation state
C Paramagnetic
CN is a strong field ligand that will cause the pairing of the electrons in the 3d orbital. Therefore, it undergoes d2sp3 hybridization and 1 electron in the 3d orbitals remain unpaired. Hence, it is paramagnetic in nature.
