(D) When $1$ $s$,$3$ $p$ and $2$ $d$-orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form six new equivalent orbitals,the type of hybridisation is called $d^{2}sp^{3}$ or octahedral hybridisation.The new orbitals are called $d^{2}sp^{3}$ or octahedral orbitals.These orbitals are directed towards the corners of an octahedron,resulting in an octahedral geometry.

Match the coordination number and type of hybridisation with the distribution of hybrid orbitals in space based on Valence Bond Theory.

Coordination number and type of hybridisation Distribution of hybrid orbitals in space

$a. 4, sp^3$ $i. \text{trigonal bipyramidal}$

$b. 4, dsp^2$ $ii. \text{octahedral}$

$c. 5, sp^3d$ $iii. \text{tetrahedral}$

$d. 6, d^2sp^3$ $iv. \text{square planar}$

Select the correct option.
