In both XeFS1U1B14S1U1B0 and XeFS1U1B12S1U1B0, the Xe atom is bonded to two fluorine atoms and two bridging SbF6- ions, which gives it a square planar geometry. In this geometry, the hybridization of Xe atom is spS1U1P3S1S1P0dS1U1P2S1S1P0. Therefore, the correct answer is option C, as it has the correct hybridization for both compounds.

Hybridization of Xe in XeF4 Is ________ and in XeF2
