Hybridisation is calculated by steric number rule.

Steric no. = no. of atoms attached to central atom + no. of lone pairs present on central atom.

Steric no.for IO_{4}^{-}=4+0=4\; \; \; \; \; sp^{3}  

Steric no.for ICI_{4}^{-}=4+2=6\; \; \; \; \; sp^{3}d^{2}

Steric no.for IF_{4}^{+}=4+1=5\; \; \; \; \: \; sp^{3}d

Steric no.for SO_{3}=3+0=3\; \; \; \; \; sp^{2}

Steric no.for SO{_{4}}^{2-}= 4 + 0 = 4 \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no.for SO{_{3}}^{2-}= 3 + 1 = 4 \; \; \; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no. for PCl_{4}^{+} = 4 + 0 = 4\; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no. for BF_{4}^{-} = 4 + 0 = 4\; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no. for XeO_{3} = 3 + 1 = 4\; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no. for XeO_{4} = 4 + 0 = 4\; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Steric no.for XeF_{4} = 4 + 2 = 6\; \; \; \; sp^{3}d^{2}

Steric no.for ClO_{4}^{-} = 4 + 0 = 4\; \; \; \; sp^{3}

Therefore, Option(4) is correct.
