Detailed Solution

sp3 hybridization exists in diamond and  sp2 in graphite.

Each carbon atom in a diamond forms four sigma bonds with four other carbon atoms. As a result, carbon hybridization is sp3

Each carbon atom in graphite forms three sigma bonds with three other carbon atoms. hence, sp2 hybridization.

The hybridization of the carbon atom in acetylene, graphite, and diamond is sp3 and sp2, respectively.
