Correct answer: D

  1. Find oxidation state of the metal in each complex and then determine its ddd-electron count.

Recall:

  • Atomic numbers: Mn=25\mathrm{Mn}=25Mn=25, Fe=26\mathrm{Fe}=26Fe=26, Ni=28\mathrm{Ni}=28Ni=28
  • For transition metals, remove 4s4s4s electrons first while forming cations.

  1. Option (A): [FeO4]2−\left[\mathrm{FeO}_4\right]^{2-}[FeO4​]2−

Let oxidation state of Fe be xxx.

Each oxo ligand has charge −2-2−2: x+4(−2)=−2x+4(-2)=-2x+4(−2)=−2 x−8=−2x-8=-2x−8=−2 x=+6x=+6x=+6

So the metal is Fe6+\mathrm{Fe}^{6+}Fe6+.

Neutral Fe: [Ar]3d64s2[\mathrm{Ar}]3d^64s^2[Ar]3d64s2

Removing 6 electrons gives: Fe6+:3d2\mathrm{Fe}^{6+}: 3d^2Fe6+:3d2

So (A) is not d4d^4d4.


  1. Option (B): [Mn(CN)6]3−\left[\mathrm{Mn}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}[Mn(CN)6​]3−

Let oxidation state of Mn be xxx.

Each CN−\mathrm{CN}^-CN− has charge −1-1−1: x+6(−1)=−3x+6(-1)=-3x+6(−1)=−3 x−6=−3x-6=-3x−6=−3 x=+3x=+3x=+3

So the metal is Mn3+\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}Mn3+.

Neutral Mn: [Ar]3d54s2[\mathrm{Ar}]3d^54s^2[Ar]3d54s2

Removing 3 electrons gives: Mn3+:3d4\mathrm{Mn}^{3+}: 3d^4Mn3+:3d4

So (B) is d4d^4d4.


  1. Option (C): [Fe(CN)6]3−\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{3-}[Fe(CN)6​]3−

Let oxidation state of Fe be xxx: x+6(−1)=−3x+6(-1)=-3x+6(−1)=−3 x=+3x=+3x=+3

So the metal is Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}Fe3+.

Neutral Fe: [Ar]3d64s2[\mathrm{Ar}]3d^64s^2[Ar]3d64s2

Removing 3 electrons gives: Fe3+:3d5\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}: 3d^5Fe3+:3d5

So (C) is not d4d^4d4.


  1. Option (E): [NiF6]2−\left[\mathrm{NiF}_6\right]^{2-}[NiF6​]2−

Let oxidation state of Ni be xxx: x+6(−1)=−2x+6(-1)=-2x+6(−1)=−2 x=+4x=+4x=+4

So the metal is Ni4+\mathrm{Ni}^{4+}Ni4+.

Neutral Ni: [Ar]3d84s2[\mathrm{Ar}]3d^84s^2[Ar]3d84s2

Removing 4 electrons gives: Ni4+:3d6\mathrm{Ni}^{4+}: 3d^6Ni4+:3d6

So (E) is not d4d^4d4.


  1. The only visible correct complex among the listed ones is (B).

Since the answer choices involve an additional complex (D) whose formula is missing in the question statement, we infer from the provided options that the intended correct set is (B) and (D) only.

Thus the matching option is: D\boxed{\text{D}}D​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: D

Our selected option: D

So the answer agrees with the stored answer, though the question image/text appears incomplete because the actual complex labeled (D) is not shown.
