During the given reaction, the hybridisation of the Carbonyl carbon changes from (C) sp2 to sp.
In the reactants side of the equation, it visible that the carbonyl carbon is bonded to a nitrogen group and an alkyl group. This gives it a sp2 hybridisation. As a result, it is trigonal planar in nature. On the other hand, after the reaction takes place, we are left with a carbon atom that has a triple bond. This triple bond forces the molecule to take a linear shape, with the three centres of C, C and N forming in a straight line. Thus, this gives rise to sp hybridisation of the carbonyl carbon atom.
