detailed solution

Correct option is C

In Al2Cl6  two coordinate covalent bonds and 6 covalent bonds are present.In diborane two BH2 groups are in one plane and two bridged hydrogens are in perpendicular to the BH2 plane, therefore diborane is a non planar molecule and the central atom boron undergoes sp3 hybridisation.
