Answer: sp2 hybridized orbital

Step-by-step explanation:

The lone pair in pyridine is contained in an sp2 hybridized orbital pointing outwards from the ring. As a result, the lone pair does not contribute to the aromatic ring but still influences the properties of pyridine such as electrophilic attack. The image attached depicts the bonding in pyridine.
