(A-1, B-1, C-2) $A-1, B-1, C-2$
$A$. Free radicals are formed by homolytic cleavage and they are trigonal planar.
$B$. Carbocations are formed by heterolytic cleavage,where the central carbon is $sp^2$ hybridized,resulting in a trigonal planar geometry.
$C$. Carbanions have a lone pair of electrons on the central carbon,which is $sp^3$ hybridized,resulting in a pyramidal geometry.
