detailed solution

Correct option is C

CO is strong field ligand therefore causes pairing of electron ; finally one  ‘3d’ orbital, one ‘4s’ orbital and three ‘4p’ orbital will involve in Hybridisation and the hybridisation is dsp3 and Geometry is Trigonal Bi pyramidal. if three ‘p’ orbital involves the d orbital is  dz2 ; if two 'p' orbital involves , the d orbital involves is dx2-y2.
