The correct answer is:
and diamagnetic
In , is in oxidation state with the configuration . In the presence of a strong field ligand, the 3d electrons undergo pairing and leaving two d-orbitals empty. Hence, the hybridisation is which forms an inner orbital octahedral complex. The complex is diamagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons.

So, the correct option is C
