    A and B

    Explanation:

    A is correct.

    Sp hybridization involves the mixing of one s orbital and one p orbital. There is an equivalent sharing of character and hence the hybrid orbital exhibit 50% s character and 50% p character.

    B is correct

    B is correct because Sp2 hybridization is formed as a result of the mixing of one s orbital and 2 p orbitals.

    C is incorrect.

    Sp3 hybridization are oriented 109.5 degrees away from each other
