(C) Ethyne $(C_2H_2)$: The carbon atom is $sp$ hybridized with $2$ $\sigma$-bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a linear geometry.Methane $(CH_4)$: The carbon atom is $sp^3$ hybridized with $4$ $\sigma$-bonds and $0$ lone pairs,resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.Therefore,the shapes are linear and tetrahedral.
