The answer is A. An sp3 hybridized atom will have a total of 4 single bonds and lone pairs. Since carbon here is attached to four hydrogens, it must be sp3 hybridized. The C-H bonds are also the least polar bonds here, even though there is a slight amount of electronegativity difference between the two.
