The correct option is A∙CH3 Alkyl free radicals are either planar or pyramidal in structure, they have sp2 hybridisation with impaired e− located primarily in p−orbital.
In CH3, it has sp2 hybridisation with two e− on each and one empty p−orbital.
In CH4, every p−orbital is involved in hybridisation making it sp3.
