Solution

The correct option is C 36
The effective atomic number of Fe in $(C O)_{3} F e (C O)_{3} F e (C O)_{3}$ is $26 + 3 (2) + 3 (1) + 1 = 36$
The atomic number of Fe is 26.

3 CO ligands are terminal and donate 2 electron to Fe.

3 CO ligands are bridged and donate 1 electron to Fe.

There is one Fe-Fe bond which contributes 1 electron.
