Correct Answer
(C) Linear and tetrahedral
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ethyne \(\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_2\right)\) Number of \(\sigma\)-bonds at \(\mathrm{C}\)-atom \(=2\) Number of lone pair of electrons at \(\mathrm{C}\)-atom \(=0\) \(\therefore\) Total \(=2+0=2\) \(\therefore\) Hybridisation is \(\mathrm{sp}\).…
