Detailed Solution

There is a synergistic link between Fe and CO in the compound Fe(CO)5. The bond order of CO decreases as a result of metal and CO forming synergistic bonds. Bond length grows as bond order gets smaller. Option 1.158  is the only one with a longer bond length than 1.128  in this case. As a result, choice A is the right response.
Hence correct option A
