The correct option is C [Ni(CO)4]

(a) [Cu(NH3)4]SO4
Oxidation numbers of Cu:
x+4×02=0
x2=0
x=+2


(b) Oxidation number of Pt in [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
x+2×0+2×1=0
x2=0
x=+2


(c) Oxidation number of Ni in [Ni(CO)4]
x+4×0=0
x=0


(d) Oxidation number of Fe in K3[Fe(CN)6]
3×(+1)+x+6×1=0
3+x6=0
x=+3


[Ni(CO)4] is a zero-valent compound.

Hence, option C is correct.
