Detailed Solution

A complex's spin-only magnetic moment will be greater if there are more unpaired electrons in it.
In these complexes, the central metal ion is in +2 oxidation state.

Zn2+   has  3d10  with  0 unpaired electrons.   Ni2+    has  3d8   with  2 unpaired electrons.   Co2+  has  3d7   with  3 unpaired electrons.   Mn2+  has  3d5   with  5 unpaired electrons.
Hence, the correct option is option (D) [MnCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2- > [NiCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2-.
