According to valence bond theory the metal atom or ion can make use of which of the following orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals, that can form bonds with ligands.
  1. $(n-1) d,(n-1) s, n p$
  2. $(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{ns}, \mathrm{np}$
  3. $(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{d}, \mathrm{ns},(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{p}$
  4. $\mathrm{nd},(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{s},(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{p}$

Solution

$(\mathrm{n}-1) \mathrm{d} ; \mathrm{ns}, \mathrm{np}$
