Solution

The correct option is D SF4
Hybridization of molecule is given by the formula,

H=12[V+MC+A]

H = number of orbitals involved in hybridization
V = valence electrons of central atom
M = number of monovalent atoms linked to central atom
C = charge on the cation
A = charge on the anion

Value of H and hybridization, [H=2(sp),3(sp2),4(sp3),5(sp3d)]

Hybridization of SO24,

H=12[6+2]=4 (sp3)

Hybridization of SF2,

H=12[6+2]=4 (sp3)

Hybridization of SF4,

H=12[6+4]=5 (sp3d)

SO24 and SF2 undergoes sp3 hybridization and SF4 is sp3d hybridization.

Hence, the correct option is (D).
