Detailed Solution

Oxidation state of manganese in MnO2 is +4,in KMnO4 is +7, in MnO is +2 and in K3Mn(CN)6 is +3. Radius reduces when oxidation state rises because fewer electrons are available and nucleas must now draw fewer electrons. Therefore, the compound with the biggest radius has manganese in the lowest oxidation state.
Manganese therefore displays its greatest radius in MnO.
