The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

\(CN^–\) is the strongest ligand among the given complexes \(CFSE\) value for the \([Co(CN)_6]^{–3}\) complex will be highest as it has \(d^6\) configuration. 

Hence, the correct option is (C): \([Co(CN)_6]^{–3}\)

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.
