Correct answer: D

Let's determine the hybridisation of each complex one by one.

1. K2[Ni(CN)4]\mathrm{K}_2[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4]K2​[Ni(CN)4​]

The complex ion is [Ni(CN)4]2−[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4]^{2-}[Ni(CN)4​]2−.

  • Oxidation state of Ni: x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2x+4(-1)=-2 \Rightarrow x=+2x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2
  • So, Ni2+\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}Ni2+ has configuration: [Ar] 3d8[\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^8[Ar]3d8
  • CN−\mathrm{CN}^-CN− is a strong field ligand, so pairing occurs.
  • Coordination number =4=4=4.
  • For d8d^8d8 metal ion with strong field ligands, geometry is square planar with hybridisation: dsp2dsp^2dsp2

So, A→IIIA \to \text{III}A→III


2. [Ni(CO)4][\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4][Ni(CO)4​]

  • Here Ni is in oxidation state 000.
  • Configuration of Ni\mathrm{Ni}Ni: [Ar] 3d84s2[\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^8 4s^2[Ar]3d84s2
  • In Ni(0)\mathrm{Ni}(0)Ni(0) carbonyl complex, electrons rearrange to give filled 3d3d3d orbitals and bonding through outer orbitals.
  • Coordination number =4=4=4.
  • [Ni(CO)4][\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4][Ni(CO)4​] is tetrahedral.
  • Tetrahedral hybridisation: sp3sp^3sp3

So, B→IB \to \text{I}B→I


3. [Co(NH3)6]Cl3[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{NH}_3)_6]\mathrm{Cl}_3[Co(NH3​)6​]Cl3​

The complex cation is [Co(NH3)6]3+[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{NH}_3)_6]^{3+}[Co(NH3​)6​]3+.

  • Oxidation state of Co: x+6(0)=+3⇒x=+3x+6(0)=+3 \Rightarrow x=+3x+6(0)=+3⇒x=+3
  • So, Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+}Co3+ has configuration: [Ar] 3d6[\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^6[Ar]3d6
  • NH3\mathrm{NH}_3NH3​ is a ligand that causes pairing for Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+}Co3+.
  • Coordination number =6=6=6, so octahedral complex.
  • Since pairing occurs in 3d3d3d, it is an inner orbital complex with hybridisation: d2sp3d^2sp^3d2sp3

So, C→IVC \to \text{IV}C→IV


4. Na3[CoF6]\mathrm{Na}_3[\mathrm{CoF}_6]Na3​[CoF6​]

The complex ion is [CoF6]3−[\mathrm{CoF}_6]^{3-}[CoF6​]3−.

  • Oxidation state of Co: x+6(−1)=−3⇒x=+3x+6(-1)=-3 \Rightarrow x=+3x+6(−1)=−3⇒x=+3
  • So, Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+}Co3+ is: [Ar] 3d6[\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^6[Ar]3d6
  • F−\mathrm{F}^-F− is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs.
  • Coordination number =6=6=6, octahedral.
  • Hence it forms an outer orbital complex with hybridisation: sp3d2sp^3d^2sp3d2

So, D→IID \to \text{II}D→II


Final matching

A→III,B→I,C→IV,D→IIA\to III,\quad B\to I,\quad C\to IV,\quad D\to IIA→III,B→I,C→IV,D→II

This corresponds to Option D.
