Solution
A is not correct but R is correct.
Explanation:
Since hybridization of C can be found out by counting σ bonds and π bonds present on C atom. This can be shown as-
\[\ce{\overset{3α}{\underset{1π}{CH2}} = \overset{2α}{\underset{2π}{C}} = \overset{3α}{\underset{1π}{CH2}}}\]
If C has 3σ bonds then it is sp2 hybridized. If C has 2σ bonds then it is sp hybridized.
