Correct Option C

In ammonia, the nitrogen atom is bonded to three hydrogen atoms and has one lone pair of electrons. This arrangement results in a tetrahedral geometry with the nitrogen atom at the center. The hybridization of nitrogen in ammonia is therefore \mathrm{sp^{3}}, as it involves the combination of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four \mathrm{sp^{3}} hybrid orbitals. Hence option C is the correct answer.

Option (A) is incorrect because the hybridization of nitrogen in ammonia is therefore \mathrm{sp^{3}}, as it involves the combination of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four \mathrm{sp^{3}}hybrid orbitals. Hence option A is incorrect.

Option (B) is incorrect because the hybridization of nitrogen in ammonia is therefore \mathrm{sp^{3}} , as it involves the combination of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four \mathrm{sp^{3}}hybrid orbitals. Hence option B is incorrect.

Option (D) is incorrect because the hybridization of nitrogen in ammonia is therefore \mathrm{sp^{3}}, as it involves the combination of one s orbital and three p orbitals to form four \mathrm{sp^{3}}hybrid orbitals. Hence option D is incorrect.
