Solution

The correct option is C it can loose and gain electrons.
Manganese, like all other elements of d-block, is a transition element because despite being a metal which have the tendency to loose electrons, Manganese can do both, loose electrons or gain electrons. It has the ability to behave like both metals and non-metals because of the presence of d-orbital,, therefore it is known as transition element.
