Configuration of Ti is [Ar]3d24s2, therefore Ti2+ is [Ar] 3d2.
Configuration of V is [Ar]3d34s2, therefore V3+ is [Ar] 3d2.
Configuration of Cr is [Ar]3d54s1, therefore Cr3+ is [Ar] 3d3.
Configuration of Mn is [Ar]3d54s2, therefore Ti2+ is [Ar] 3d5.
Thus, only Cr3+ has three unpaired electrons in d orbital according to Hertz's rule.
Hence , option (C) Cr3+ is the correct answer.
