Detailed Solution

Strong field ligands are strong enough to pair up the electrons. 

Inner d-orbital complex means a strong field ligand is present. 
For d9, 6 electrons paired up in three orbitals in t2g and three electrons in eg. In  eg , 2 electrons are paired up with one unpaired electron.  
For d7, 6 electrons paired up in three orbitals in t2g and one unpaired electron in eg. 
For d5 ,5 electrons in t2g, four electrons paired up with one unpaired electron. 
For d4, 4 electrons out of which two electrons paired up with two unpaired electrons in t2g

Hence the correct option is d4
