Detailed Solution
The magnetic moment of K2[Cu(CN)4] is 4.9 BM in each instance. Each of them possesses four unpaired electrons, as evidenced by this. Additionally, the oxidation state of cobalt in the given combination is +3. It therefore has a 3d6 arrangement.
Hence, the correct option is option (B) dsp2, square planer, 1.73 B.M.
