Q. In the following dehydration reaction the hybridised state of carbon changes $C H_{3} CON H_{2} P_{2} O_{5} C H_{3} CN + H_{2} O$

$s p^{3}$ to $s p^{2}$

$s p$ to $s p^{2}$

$s p^{2}$ to $s p$

$s p$ to $s p^{3}$

$s p^{2} C H_{3} - C O ∣∣ - N H_{2} P_{2} O_{5} s p C H_{3} - C \equiv N + H_{2} O$ In the above dehydration reaction the hybridised state of carbon is changing from $s p^{2}$ tosp.
