Answer

a.) (from left to right) $sp^{3}$ and $sp$ b.) (from left to right) $sp^{2}$ and $sp^{2}$ c.) (from left to right) $sp^{2}$ and $sp$

Work Step by Step

To determine the hybridization of an atom, all you have to do is count the number of groups it has surrounding it. 4 groups = $sp^{3}$ hybridized 3 groups = $sp^{2}$ hybridized 2 groups = $sp$ hybridized
