Step-by-step explanation:

The hybridization of the carbon in which it forms 120° with the other atoms is
sp^2.

In
sp^2 hybridized carbon, it forms a geometry of trigonal planar which has angle of 120°. This corresponds to doubly bonded carbon.

To draw:

One carbon-carbon double bond in 4 membered carbon chain.

The structure is shown in image below.
