Correct answer: (a) dx2-y2, dz2
Explanation:
Only those d orbitals whose lobes are directed along X, Y and Z directions hybridise with s and p orbitals. In other three, d orbitals namely dxy, dyz and dxz, the lobes are at an angle of 45° from both axis, hence the extent of their overlap with s and p orbitals is much lesser than dx2-y2 and dz2 orbitals.
