View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
dxy,dxz,dyzd_{x y}, d_{x z}, d_{y z}
Option D (dxy,dxz,dyzd_{xy}, d_{xz}, d_{yz}) is correct because the hybridization of the central atom in ICl4−\mathrm{ICl}_4^{-} is sp3d2sp^3d^2, which involves dz2d_{z^2} and dx2−y2d_{x^2-y^2} orbitals, but not dxy,dxz,dyzd_{xy}, d_{xz}, d_{yz} orbitals.
