Solution

The correct option is D Zn2+
Electronic configurations of elements as per the Aufbau Principle:
Atomic number of Ni = 28
Ni2+ = [Ar]3d8
Atomic number of Mn = 25
Mn2+ = [Ar]3d5
Atomic number of Fe = 26
Fe2+ = [Ar]3d6
Atpmic number of Zn = 30
Zn2+ = [Ar]3d10
Zn2+ will have the required electronic configuration
