\mathrm{Fe^{3+}} ions react with excess of potassium ferrocyanide to form \mathrm{KFe\left [ Fe\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]}.

The reaction is given below:

\mathrm{\underset{excess}{K_{4}\left [ Fe\left ( CN \right ) _{6}\right ]}+Fe^{3+}\rightarrow KFe\left [ Fe\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]}

Hence,the correct answer is Option (4)
