3d^{3} 
Vanadium (atomic number- 23)
E.C = [Ar]^{18}3d^{3}4s^{2},
So the stable oxidation states are (+2, +3, +4, +5)

 

3d^{5}
Manganese (atomic number = 25)
E.C = [Ar]^{18}3d^{5}4s^{2} ,
So the stable oxidation state are (+2, +4, +6, +7)

 

3d^{5}
chromium (atomic number = 24)
E.C = [Ar]^{18}3d^{5}4s^{1},
So the stable oxidation state are (+3, +4, +6)

 

3d^{4}
No elements has d^{4}  electronic configuration in their ground state.
