B

sp²
C

sp³
D

sp³d

Solution

In diborane each B atom undergoes sp³hybridisation ,it contains two B-H-B bridges . Each bridge bond is formed by overlapping of one "B"sp³hybrid orbital with one electron, hydrogen s-orbital with one electron and another boron sp³ hybrid orbital without electron .That is the bridge head bond is a electron deficient three centre two electron bond.
