Detailed Solution

A) Atomic size of Cu is smaller than zinc. Zn has stable 3d10 4s2 config. But Cu has unstable 3d10 4s1 config. So Cu will have more affinity towards electron. Thus EN of  Cu>Zn

B) Due to lanthanoid contraction atomic sizes of Ag & Au are almost equal but due to poor shielding effect of  f electrons Au has more effective nuclear charge thus having more electronegativity

 C) Atomic sizes of Co & Ni are almost equal. Thus their electro negativity are also equal

D) Mn has stable 3d5 4s2 config. So it has less tendency to gain electron. Thus having least electro negativity.
