Solution

The correct option is A [Mn(H2O)6]4+
When two complexes have same number of unpaired electrons, they have same value of spin only magnetic moment.
The number of unpaired electrons present in [Cr(H2O)6]3+,[Mn(H2O)6]4+,[Mn(H2O)6]3+,[Fe(H2O)6]3+and[Cu(H3N)4]2+ are 3,3,4, 5 and 1 respectively.
Thus the magnetic moment of [Mn(H2O)6]4+ is same as that of [Cr(H2O)6]3+.
