Solution

The correct option is D III,II,IV,I
(I)Fe2+ has 3d6 configuration.
Hence, it has 4 unpaired electrons.
(II)Ti2+ has 3d2 configuration.
So, it has 2 unpaired electrons.
(III)Cu2+ has 3d9 configuration.
So, it has 1 unpaired electron.
(IV)V2+ has 3d3 configuration.
So, it has 3 unpaired electrons.
More the unpaired electrons more will be the spin only magnetic moment. So the order of increasing unpaired electrons and spin only magnetic moment of species is as follows:
(III)<(II)<(IV)<(I)
