The correct answer is: $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \mathrm{ion}$
$\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ ion can be detected by $\mathrm{K}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]$

$$

\begin{aligned}

4 \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}+3 \mathrm{~K}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right] \\

& \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]_{3}+12 \mathrm{~K}^{+}

\end{aligned}
