Detailed Solution

For PCl3, three bond pairs and one lone pair are involved in the sp3 hybridization of the core atom, phosphorus. The shift in electrical configuration is caused by one of the electrons moving to an empty d orbital in the excited state.
The central Si  atom in the molecule SiCl4 has four valence electrons, and since it is making four sigma bonds with the Cl atoms, the stearic number of  Si is four. This suggests that the molecule is sp3 hybridized, with tetrahedral geometry and shape.

The molecules which have sp3d hybridization of a central atom in their transition state during hydrolysis process are,

PCl3, SiCl4
