Detailed Solution

When compared to other metals, the Mn has a positive charge. As a result, giving up its electron density to the antibonding orbitals is difficult for manganese. Mn would thus create a weak metal–carbonyl connection.

As charge on C.A. ,CO bond strength 

 or C-O bond order  or C-O bond length 

Hence correct option B.
