Solution

The correct option is B [Ti(H2O)6]Cl4
In [Ti(H2O)6]Cl4, the Ti4+ ion with 3d0 electronic configuration contains zero unpaired electrons.
Hence, it has zero magnetic moment.

In the complexes [Ti(H2O)6]Cl2,[TiCl3(H2O)3] and [TiCl2(H2O)4], the titanium ion has +2, +3 an +2 charges respectively.
It has electronic configurations 3d2,3d1 and 3d2 respectively and contains 2,1 and 2 unpaired electrons respectively.
