(N/A) The $s$-character in hybrid orbitals is calculated as follows:
$sp^3$: $1/4 = 25 \%$,$sp^2$: $1/3 = 33.3 \%$,$sp$: $1/2 = 50 \%$.
Electronegativity is directly proportional to the $s$-character because $s$-orbitals are closer to the nucleus.
Therefore,the order of electronegativity is $sp > sp^2 > sp^3$.
Hybrid Orbital $s$-character
$sp^3$ $25 \%$
$sp^2$ $33.3 \%$
$sp$ $50 \%$
