detailed solution

Correct option is A

The fact is,

 Magnetic moment =n(n+1);

n is the number of unpaired electrons in this instance.

4.9=n(n+2)

This ion possesses 4 unpaired electrons, or n=4.

electronically configured for Mn=1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d54s2 have 5 unpaired electrons, hence in order to produce an ion with 4 unpaired electrons, it must let go of 3 electrons.

 25Mn3+:1s2,2s22p6,3s23p63d4a=3

Therefore, choice A is the best one.
