Correct answer

A. [Fe(CN)6]4−,\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-},\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}, \left[\mathrm{PtCl}_4\right]^{2-}

Step-by-step solution

In [Fe(CN)6]4−\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]^{4-}, Fe\mathrm{Fe} is in +2+2 oxidation state with a 3d63d^6 configuration. Since CN−\mathrm{CN}^- is a strong field ligand, electrons pair up to give t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6 e_g^0. It has zero unpaired electrons and is diamagnetic.
