(b) sp
(c) sp²
(d) none of these
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in regular hexagons in flat parallel layers.Each C atom in these layers is bonded to other three by sp² covalent bonds. Each layer is bonded to the adjacent layers by weak van der Waals forces.

In graphite each carbon is Very strongly healded by each other through a double bond so the hybridisation is sp2
