Solution

The correct option is C should be very stable
In the given complex the oxidation state of iron is +3. The electronic configuration of iron in +3 oxidation state is $1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} p^{6} 3 s^{2} 3 p^{6} 3 d^{5}$ . The compound has 1 unpaired electrons and exhibit octahedral geometry. It is a low spin complex and is very stable.
