Dear Student,
Bent's rule explains the relationship between the hybridisation of orbital of the central atom and the electro-negativities of substituents. According to the Bent's rule, if the electronegativity of B is changed, A will also tend to re-hybridize its orbitals in such a manner that more s-character will be present in those orbitals that are directed towards the more electropositive substituent. For instance, the H−C−H angle would be larger than the tetrahedral angle of 109.5° (more s-character) and H−C−F angle would be slightly smaller than 109.5° (more p-character).
Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Regards
