The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

$\left[Cu^{+1}\left(CN\right)^{-4}_{4}\right]^{-3}$
$cu^{+}$ ground state=CN $\left(-\right)$is strong field ligand, $\Delta$ is high
Hybridisation $=sp^{3};$oxidation state of Cu = +1
Number of unpaired electron = 0

Concepts Used:

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
