Detailed Solution

(1) The S-atom in the excited state (3s23p33d1 ) has sp3 hybridization (sp3)2 (sp3)1 (sp3)1(sp3)13d1
The three hybrid orbitals form three (S-O) σ -bonds and the 3d pure orbital gives (S-O) π-bond.
(2) In PO43, P-atom in its excited state 3s13p33d1 is sp3 hybridized. Four hybrid orbitals forms (P-O) σ -bonds whereas 3d1 gives (P-O)  π-bond.

(3) In NO3 N-atom is sp2 hybridized as sp22sp21sp212pz1 

Completely filled sp’ hybrid orbital on N-atom donates an electron pair to the vacant 2p orbital of O atom to form dative bond. Other two hybrid orbitals form (N-O) σ-bonds. The pure 2pz1 orbital forms (N-O)  π-bond.
(4) In XeOF,, Xe-atom in its excited state 5s25p35d3 is sp3d2 hybridized. The singly filled five hybrid orbitals form σ -bonds with 4F atoms and O atom. The pure 5d orbital forms π - bond with 2p orbital of O-atom.
