Detailed Solution

MnCl63and CoF63 outerorbital octahedral complexes have same number of unpaired electrons. MnCl63 is an outer orbital complex or a high spin complex with a paramagnetic magnetic characteristic (the number of unpaired electrons is 4). CoF63 As a weak field ligand, the fluoride ion is unable to pair the third-order electrons. Hence, options A and C are correct.
