structure if K[PtCl3 C2H4] and hybridisation of pt in it?

options:

1. square planar, sp²d²
2. square planar, dsp²
3. tetrahedral, sp³
4. octahedral, d²sp³​​

​as per my knowledge about it , cl is a weak field ligand and so do not support pairing of electrons.

also platinum’s configuration is [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d⁹ 6s¹

so it should be tetrahedral as inner d orbital isn’t available.
