After losing three electrons, the outer electronic configuration of Sc3+ is [Ar], Fe3+ is [Ar]3d5 and Mn3+ is [Ar]3d4. Therefore, Sc3+ is most stable, than Fe3+ and finally, Mn3+. Hence, given trend is correct.

More is the unpaired electrons, more is the magnetic moment. Ni2+ has two unpaired electrons, Mn2+ has five unpaired electrons, Fe2+ has four unpaired electrons, and Co2+ has three unpaired electrons. Therefore, the correct order is:

Mn2+>Fe2+>Co2+>Ni2+

Number of unpaired electrons in Cr3+ is three and in Cr2+, number of unpaired electrons in four. Therefore, the correct order is:

Cr2+>Cr3+

On moving left to right, size of elements decreases because of the addition of electrons in the same subshell. Therefore the given ionic order present in option-4 is wrong and the correct order is:

Cr2+>Fe2+>Mn2+>Ni2+
