Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{Mn}^{3+} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^4\)
\(\mathrm{d}^4\) configuration in \(\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}\) and \(\mathrm{eg}_{\mathrm{g}}\) orbitals will always have unpaired electrons irrespective of SFL and WFL.
\(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^5\)
\(\mathrm{d}^5\) configuration will also have unpaired electron irrespective of SFL and WFL.
\(\mathrm{Co}^{3+} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^6\)
\(\mathrm{d}^6 \Rightarrow\) it can be both paramagnetic or diamagnetic based on field of ligands.
In case of \(\mathrm{F}^{-} \Rightarrow\) weak field ligand, configuration will be \(\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^4 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^2\) hence it is paramagnetic but in case of
en \(\Rightarrow\) strong filed ligand, configuration will be \(\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^6 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^0\) hence it will be diamagnetic.
So,
\(\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right) 6\right]^{3+}\) : Paramagnetic
\(\left[\mathrm{MnCl}_6\right]^{3-}\) : Paramagnetic
\(\left[\mathrm{FeF}_6\right]^{3-}\) : Paramagnetic
\(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-}\) : Paramagnetic
\(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\) : Paramagnetic
\(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_3\right]^{3+}\) : Diamagnetic
Only 1 complex is diamagnetic.

JEE Advanced 2020 Medium - Paragraph :
When a particle of mass \(m\) moves on the \(x\)-axis in a potential of the form \(V(x)=k x^2\), it performs simple harmonic motion.
The corresponding time period is proportional to \(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\), as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of \(x=0\) in a way different from \(k x^2\) and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) moving on the \(x\)-axis. Its potential energy is \(V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)\) for \(|x|\) near the origin and becomes a constant equal to \(V_0\) for \(|x| \geq X_0\) (see figure).
