The correct answer is: $\mathrm{d}^{2} s \mathrm{p}^{3}$
\begin{array}{|c|l|} \hline Hybridisation & Geometry of complex \\ \hline \mathrm{sp}^{3} & tetrahedral \\ \mathrm{dsp}^{2} & square planar \\ \mathrm{d}^{2} \mathrm{sp}^{3} & octahedral \\ \mathrm{sp}^{2} \mathrm{~d}^{2} & not possible \\ \hline \end{array}
