As we learnt in 

sp3d hybridisation -

five orbitals (one s, three p and one d orbital ) are available for hybridisation to yield a set of five spd hybrid orbitals.

- wherein

Trigonal  Bipyramidal

 

 

 dsp2 hybridisation give square planer structure with s,px,py and dx2-y2 orbitals with bond angle 90 degree.


Option 1)

s,p_{x},p_{y},d_{yz}

This option is incorrect 

Option 2)

s,p_{x},p_{y},d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}

This option is correct 

Option 3)

s,p_{x},p_{y},d_{z^{2}}

This option is incorrect 

Option 4)

s,p_{y},p_{z},d_{xy}

This option is incorrect
