Detailed Solution

Zn = Z= 30 , Electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s2 3d 10 , number of unpaired d-electrons = 0

Fe = Z = 26 , Electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s2 3d 6 

Fe +2 electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s0 3d 6,number of unpaired d-electrons = 4

Ni = Z = 28 , Electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s2 3d 8

 Ni +3 = Electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s0 3d7,number of unpaired d-electrons = 3

cu+ =Z= 29  , Electronic configuration - ( Ar ) 4s0 3d10,number of unpaired d-electrons = 0

Fe +2 contains  maximum number of unpaired d-electrons.
