a) a total of four unpaired electrons

b) four equal energy hybrid orbitals

g) hybrid orbitals with energy between that of the 2s and 2p orbitals

h) the ability to form four bonds

The s orbital and the px, py and pz orbitals all become re-shaped to four equal sp3 hybridization orbitals distributed in tetrahedral geometry.
