The correct answer is: CrH2O62+ and FeH2O62+
In option A: CoCl42-,Co2+3d7 with W.F.L.,



and [Fe(H2O)6]2+,Fe2+(3d6) with W.F.L.,



In option B: [Cr(H2O)6]2+,Cr2+(3d4) with W.F.L.,



and [CoCl4]2-,Co2+(3d7) with W.F.L.,



In option C: [Cr(H2O)6]2+,Cr2+(3d4) with W.F.L.,



and [Fe(H2O)6]2+,Fe2+(3d6) with W.F.L.,



Here both complexes have same unpaired electrons i.e. = 4

In option D: [Mn(H2O)6]2+,Mn2+(3d5) with W.F.L.,



and [Cr(H2O)6]2+,Cr2+(3d4) with W.F.L.,
