Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) B and C only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The electronic configuration of Cr is \([Ar] 3d^5 4s^1\) and Mn is \([Ar] 3d^5 4s^2\). For the first ionization enthalpy, the electron is removed from the \(4s\) orbital. Mn has a fully filled \(4s^2\) configuration and a higher effective nuclear charge compared to Cr. Thus, the…
