The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Mn2+ has the electron configuration [Ar] 3d5, which means 5 unpaired electrons. The magnetic moment is given by the formula \( \mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \). For n = 5, \( \mu = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \, \mu_B \), which is the highest among the given options.
