Structure of sulphuric acid -

H_2SO_4 is a covalent molecule with sulphur in a +6 oxidation state 

-

Properties of Sulfuric acid -

H_2SO_{4} is a strong dibasic acid 

-

The reaction occurs as follows:

 HNO_{2}+2H_{2}SO_{3}+H_{2}O\rightarrow NH_{2}OH+2H_{2}SO_{4}

Thus, the geometry is tetrahedral and its hybridisation is sp3.

Therefore, Option(3) is correct
