(C) In the $[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ complex,the central metal ion is $Cu^{2+}$.The electronic configuration of $Cu^{2+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^9$.Although $NH_3$ is a strong field ligand,the geometry of this complex is $dsp^2$ hybridized,resulting in a square planar structure.This is due to the promotion of one electron from the $3d$ orbital to the $4p$ orbital to facilitate $dsp^2$ hybridization.
