A
$\begin{aligned} Cu \to {Cu}^{+ 2} + 2 e^{-} \end{aligned}$
B
$\begin{aligned} Cr \to {Cr}^{+ 2} + 2 e^{-} \end{aligned}$
C
$Ge \to {Ge}^{+ 2} + 2 e^{-}$
D
$Zn \to {Zn}^{+ 2} + 2 e^{-}$

Solution:

The following change both the electrons are removed from same orbital are,

$\begin{array}{l} _{29} {Cu}_{} \to [Ar] 3 d^{10} 4 s^{1} \\ _{24} Cr \to [Ar] 3 d^{5} 4 s^{1} \\ _{32} Ge \to [Ar] 3 d^{10} 4 s^{2} \\ _{30} Zn \to [Ar] 3 d^{10} 4 s^{2} \end{array}$

The electrons are removed from same orbital in the $_{30} Zn$ .

Hence option D is correct.

Solution:
