Detailed Solution

Statement B about the complex CoF63 which is paramagnetic in nature is correct. The cobalt involves sp3d2 hybridization

The 1s, 3p, and 2d orbitals in sp3d2 hybridization combine to generate six identical sp3d2 hybrid orbitals. These six orbitals are pointed in the direction of an octahedron's four corners. They are 90 degrees apart from one another and incline.

Hence, option B is correct.
