What is the hybridization of both carbons in:
C=CH2 ?

Are you sure you have typed this correctly? H2C=CH2 I might believe but not C=CH2.
Well, H2C=c=Ch2 is the original question, but for part B) I'm supposed to depict the hybrid orbital formation using the orbital diagrams for the central carbon and one of the terminal carbon atoms in the molecule.
Both C atoms are sp2.
Just remember, sp3 is C(4 bond) like CH4
sp2 = C(3 bonds) like H2C=
sp = C(2 bonds) like HCtriplebond
