As we learned in concept

Exceptional configuration in '3d' series -

Due to half fill stable configuration 24^{Cr} is stable in 3d^{5}\:4s^1 configuration at the place of 3d^{4}\:4s^2.
Similarly, 29^{Cu} stable with 3d^{10}4s^1 at the place of 3d^{9}4s^2.

-

 

 Electronic config of Ni^{3+}=[Ar]3d^{7}4s^{\circ}

 Electronic config of Mn^{3+}=[Ar]3d^{4}4s^{\circ}

 Electronic config of Fe^{3+}=[Ar]3d^{3}4s^{\circ}

 Electronic config of Co^{3+}=[Ar]3d^{6}4s^{\circ}


Option 1)

Ni^{3+}

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

Mn^{3+}

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

Fe^{3+}

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

CO^{3+}

This option is correct.
