The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Magnetic moment $=2.83 \,BM $
indicates that there is two unpaired electrons.
$ \mu = \sqrt {n(n+2)} BM= \sqrt 8\, BM=2.82\, BM $
In $[NiCI_4]^{2-},Ni \,$ has $ d^8 $ configuration
and $Cl^- $ is a weak ligand:

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.
