Detailed Solution

The dxz and dxy orbitals have lobes oriented in planes suitable for side-on overlap (lateral) with p orbitals, facilitating π-bond formation.

The pz orbital is itself a p orbital capable of π bonding with other p or compatible d orbitals.

However, the dx²−y² orbital has its lobes oriented directly along the x and y axes, making its symmetry incompatible for lateral overlap with p orbitals, which typically limits π-bond formation.

Therefore, the correct option is: (ii) dx²−y² orbital.
