Correct option is B

The atomic number of Ni is 28. Its electronic configuration is1s22s22p63s23p64s23d8.

Now, the electronic configuration of  Ni2+(losing two-electron ) is 1s22s22p63s23p63d8

 Ni2+ has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, out of which there are six paired electrons and two unpaired electrons.
