The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

3,3-Dimethylhex-1-en-4-yne is $CH_2{=}CH{-}C(CH_3)_2{-}C{\equiv}C{-}CH_3$.
$sp^3$ carbons: the quaternary C-3, the two methyl groups on it and the terminal $CH_3$, i.e. 4.
$sp^2$ carbons: $CH_2{=}CH$, i.e. 2.
$sp$ carbons: the two carbons of the triple bond, i.e. 2.
The answer is $4, 2, 2$: option (1).
