The correct answer is:
(i) and (v)
Outer electronic configuration of Mn is which means it exhibits +7 oxidation state
Zinc does not form coloured ions as it has completely filled configuration.
In is a system. Fluoride is a weak field ligand and hence it can not cause pairing of electrons.

Sc can form a maximum of +3 oxidation state as it has an outer electronic configuration of .
Zn exhibits only +2 oxidation state as this O.S. is the most stable one for it.
Hence i, v are correct while ii,iii,iv are incorrect.
