Solution

The correct option is C Cu2+,Cr+,Mn2+
Ion is coloured if there are electrons in d-suborbit. Paramagnetic nature is also due to unpaired electrons. Thus, every coloured ion is also paramagnetic.
Cu2+=[Ar]3d9, one unpaired electron in 3d.
Cr+=[Ar]3d5, five unpaired electrons in 3d.
Mn2+=[Ar]3d5 five unpaired electrons in 3d.
