As we learnt in

sp2 Hybridisation -

When one s - and two p - orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form three new equivalent orbitals.The hybridised orbital is called sp2 orbital.

- wherein

Shape is Trigonal planar 

 

 

 

 Ethylene (CH2= CH2) has 2 carbons which are sp2 hybridized. The bond angle for   bond is 120°

Hence correct option is 2.
