Solution

The correct option is B Mn
$\begin{matrix} V & M n & F e & C o 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 2 & 2 & 2 & 2 3 & 3 & 3 & 3 4 & 4 & 4 & 4 5 & 5 & 5 & 5 67 \end{matrix}$
Mn exhibits the largest number of oxidation states because it has electronic configuration $[(A r) 3 d^{5} 4 s^{2}],$
Hence maximum oxidation state of Mn is + 7
