Detailed Solution
The hybridization should be dsp2.
The Cu atom is in form of Cu+2 in the compound. In Cu+2, the electronic configuration would be
1s22s22p63s23p63d94s0
So, there would be a rearrangement of electrons in Cu2+ because of the NH3 ligand (which is a strong one). And the last electron in the d-orbital would be out waiting for the N's electrons to fill up first.
