Which set of atomic orbitals could be used to make an sp 2 hybrid on carbon?

To form an sp hybrid orbital on carbon, one s orbital and one p orbital from the same carbon atom are mixed. Choice C correctly lists a carbon 2s orbital and two carbon 2p orbitals (2py and 2pz), which can be used to form sp hybrid orbitals.
