- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
is linear with central iodine atom undergoing -hybridisation and three lone pairs occupying equatorial position.
Thus, this structure include -orbital contribution to the hybridisation scheme.
The structure is,
structure is -hybridised with one lone pair.
is -hybridised and is - hybridised with two lone pairs of Se atom.
structure is -hybridised with one lone pair.
is -hybridised and is - hybridised with two lone pairs of Se atom.
