(A) triplet carbene has two unpaired electrons with parallel spins. In its structure,the carbon atom is $sp^2$ hybridized. Two of the $sp^2$ hybrid orbitals form bonds with hydrogen atoms,while the third $sp^2$ orbital and one unhybridized $p$-orbital each contain one unpaired electron. This corresponds to the orbital picture shown in option $A$.
