Paragraph: When potassium iodide is added to an aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide, a reversible reaction is observed in which a complex \(\mathbf{P}\) is formed. In a strong acidic medium, the equilibrium shifts completely towards \(\mathbf{P}\). Addition of zinc chloride to \(\mathbf{P}\) in a slightly acidic medium results in a sparingly soluble complex Q.
Question: The number of zinc ions present in the molecular formula of \(\mathbf{Q}\) is
- A 2
- B 4
- C 6
- D 8
