Solution

The correct option is D Ti3+(Z=22)
Unpaired e

In Sc+3, electronic configuration is 3do 0
In La+3, electronic configuration is [Xe]5do 0
In Ti+3, electronic configuration is 3d1 1
In Lu+3, electronic configuration is f145do 0

As in Ti+3, number of the unpaired electron is 1; because of which d-d transition takes place which is partly allowed.

Therefore, it exhibits colour in aqueous solution.
