Detailed Solution

[Ni(CO)4]
Ni has the oxidation number O.
The atomic number is 28.
Ni = [Ar]3d8 4s
hybridization sp 3 (tetrahedral)
The complex is diamagnetic because there are no unpaired electrons.
Spin magnetic moment = 0 

[Ni(CN)4]2−
Ni has an oxidation number of +2.
The atomic number is 28.
Ni = [Ar]3d8 4s2
Ni 2+= [Ar]3d8
Hybridization of dsp2 (square planar)
The complex is diamagnetic because there are no unpaired electrons.
Magnetic moment of spin = 0
 

[NiCl4​]2−
μ = n(n+2BM = 2(2+2)BM = 8BM

Hence, the correct option (C). 

(Ni(CO)4 and Ni(CN)42- are diamagnetic  and NiCl42- is paramagnetic)
