Solution

The correct option is A Both Fe atoms are in the same oxidation state.
In Fe+2K+22[Fe+2(CN)6], both Fe atoms are in the same oxidation state.
As CN is a strong ligand so pairing of electron happens and low spin complex forms.
As here Fe is connected with 6 ligands so coordination number of ion is 6.
