Detailed Solution

TiCl₂ is paramagnetic, whereas TiO₂ is diamagnetic, because TiCl₄ has 54 electrons and unpaired electrons, making it paramagnetic in nature. TiO₂ is diamagnetic because there are no unpaired electrons.

Because Fe³⁺ ions have five unpaired electrons when the Cl^- ligand arrives, the five unpaired electrons are rearranged, and one electron remains unpaired.

The correct answer is a, c, and d.
