Correct answer

4

Step-by-step solution

Number of hybrid orbitals = Number of bond pair + number of lone pair on central atom.

To have sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2} hybridisation there should be total of 6 (bond pairs + lone pairs). The structure in such case will be octahedral or its derivative structures.
