Detailed Solution

Both the  t2g and eg orbitals of  FeF63 are symmetrically filled with electrons.

A weak ligand is F. The complex will therefore be high spin complex.

The outer electronic configuration of Fe(III) is 3d5as, which may also be represented as  t2g3eg2.

Thus, the correct option is C.
