Answer:

Octahedral

Explanation:

The idea of hybridization is a valence bond concept introduced by Linus Pauling and soon became an important explanation for the structure of molecules even in coordination chemistry.

Hybridization involves the mixing of orbitals of appropriate energy to form a new set of orbitals that are more suitable for bonding with ligands.

When one s, two d and three p orbitals are hybridized in complex formation, octahedral complexes are formed.
