Solution

The answer is B. Increase progressively.

Here's why:

  1. In sp3 hybridization, the carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms, forming a tetrahedral shape. The bond angle in this case is 109.5 degrees.

  2. In sp2 hybridization, the carbon atom is bonded to three other atoms, forming a trigonal planar shape. The bond angle in this case is 120 degrees.

  3. In sp hybridization, the carbon atom is bonded to two other atoms, forming a linear shape. The bond angle in this case is 180 degrees.

So, as the hybridization state changes from sp3 to sp2 to sp, the bond angle increases progressively.
