Solution

The correct option is D tri- μ -carbonylbis(tricarbonyliron (0))
The bridging ligands which link the two metal atoms together are indicated by the prefix μ.

If there are two or more bridging groups of the same kind, this is indicated by diμ , triμ etc.

As carbonyl is a neutral ligand oxidation number of metal (Fe) will be zero.

Hence, option D is correct.
