<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the hybridization of SO_2, we use the equation:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom  (S) = 6

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom  = 0

C = charge of cation  = 0

A = charge of anion = 0

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[6]=3

The number of electron pair around the central metal atom are 3. This means that the hybridization will be sp^2 and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be trigonal planar.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.
