The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: {Hybridisation of I\(_3^-\)}
I\(_3^-\) is linear with the central iodine atom undergoing \(sp^3d\)-hybridisation and three lone pairs occupying the equatorial position. Thus, this structure includes a d-orbital contribution to the hybridisation scheme. Hence, the correct answer is (A).
