Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The starred carbon atom is involved in one double bond and two single bonds. To determine the hybridization, count the number of sigma bonds and lone pairs around the carbon. There are three sigma bonds and no lone pairs, leading to a steric number of 3. This corresponds to sp² hybridization.
