(B) In $SF_6$,the sulfur atom undergoes $sp^3d^2$ hybridization.This hybridization involves one $s$,three $p$,and two $d$ orbitals.The total number of orbitals involved is $1+3+2 = 6$.The percentage of $d-$character is calculated as $\frac{	ext{number of } d 	ext{ orbitals}}{	ext{total number of orbitals}} 	imes 100 = \frac{2}{6} 	imes 100 = 33.33\% \approx 33\%$.The geometry of $SF_6$ is octahedral,where all bond angles between adjacent $F-S-F$ bonds are $90^{\circ}$.

The bond angle and $\%$ $d-$character in $S$ atom in $SF_6$ are
