Correct option: D
d2sp2{d^2}s{p^2}-hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular tetrahedron
Option D (d2sp2{d^2}s{p^2}-hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular tetrahedron) is wrong because d2sp3{d^2}sp^3 hybrid orbitals are directed towards the corners of a regular octahedron, not a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron is formed by sp3sp^3 hybridization.
