The correct answer is: 3

Synergic bonding involves transference of electrons from ligands to metal. The transference of electrons takes place from filled metal orbitals to anti-bonding orbitals of ligands. It is a bond between a carbonyl group acting as a ligand and a metal. Synergic bonding means self strengthening bond. More the number of d electrons on the central metal ion more the synergic bonding. In metal carbonyls' oxidation state of the metal is zero.

In the complex MnCO5, the electronic configuration of Mn is 3d54s2. As carbon monoxide is a strong field, pairing of electrons occurs. Hence, the new electronic configuration of Mn is 3d7.

In the case of Mn2CO10 also electronic configuration after pairing of electrons is 3d7.

In the complex CrCO6 , the electronic configuration of Cr is 3d54s1 . As carbon monoxide is a strong field, pairing of electrons occurs. Hence, the new electronic configuration of Cr is 3d6

All of these compounds can show synergic bonding.
