Solution

The correct option is C It has magnetic moment of 3.87 B.M. confirming three unpaired electrons in Fe
(a) Fe2+ changes to brown colored ring complex and the color change is due to charge transfer
(b) NONO++e Fe2++eFe+

Magnetic moment =n(n+2)=15=3.87 BM
(d) It is a high sin complex, it contains 3 unpaired electrons hence, hybridisation of the complex is sp3d2.
