Solution

The correct option is D K2[MnCl4]
Complex K2[MnCl4] is tetrahedral and paramagnetic in nature because Mn is having +2 oxidation state and hence will have 3d54s0 configuration. Also Cl is a weak field ligand and hence pairing of electrons won't take place. Therefore The hybridization is sp3 and is paramagnetic in nature.
