Correct answer
2

Step-by-step explanation

Complexes in which central atom has unpaired electrons is said to be paramagnetic in nature and where unpaired electrons are not present are diamagnetic in nature.

FeCN63- ,   Fe+3  3d5  t2g2,2  eg1, paramagnetic (one unpaired electron)

FeCN64-,  Fe+2 3d6t2g6eg0 ,diamagnetic 

TiCN63-,  Ti+3(3d1)t2g1 , Paramagnetic (1 unpaired electron)

NiCN42-, Ni+2(3d8) Diamagnetic

CoCN63-,   Co+3(3d6)t2g6, diamagnetic
