The accurate response is 59%.
By solving the equation \(2x+3(0.83−x)=2\),
we obtain the value of x as 0.49.
Therefore, the percentage of metal ions present in the +2 oxidation state
\((\% M^{2+})\) can be calculated as \(\frac{(0.83-0.49)}{0.83} \times 100\),
which simplifies to \(59\%\).
So, the correct answer is 59.
