One of the correct normalized $\mathrm{sp}^{2}$ hybridorbitals is

(a)$\frac{1}{3} \phi_{2 \mathrm{s}}+\frac{1}{3} \phi_{2 \mathrm{px}}+\frac{1}{3} \phi_{2 \mathrm{py}}$

(b)$\frac{1}{2} \phi_{2 \mathrm{s}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{8}} \phi_{2 \mathrm{px}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{8}} \phi_{2 \mathrm{py}}$

(c)$\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \phi_{2 \mathrm{s}}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{8}} \phi_{2 \mathrm{px}}$

(d)$\frac{1}{3} \phi_{2 \mathrm{s}}+\frac{2}{3} \phi_{2 \mathrm{p}}$
