Solution

The correct option is C $B e C l_{2}, s p$ , linear
In $C O_{2}$ , $O = C = O$ is the structural formula and $C$ is $s p$ hybridised. $C O_{2}$ is linear molecule.
In $H_{2} O$ , Oxygen is $s p^{3}$ hybridised and shape is angular.
In $B e C l_{2}$ , $B e$ is $s p$ hybridised with no lone pairs and is a linear molecule.
