Detailed Solution

The compounds MnCl42,CoCl42 and Fe(CN)64 have 5, 3, and o unpaired electrons, respectively. The magnetic moment values rise together with the number of unpaired electrons. Therefore, 

MnCl42>CoCl42>Fe(CN)64is the right sequence of magnetic moments (spin values in BM).

μ=0 for Fe(CN)64 

Hence, the correct option is D.
