Step-by-Step Solution

According to Valence Bond Theory : (A) [Ni(CN)4]2[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}: The central metal ion is Ni2+Ni^{2+} with a 3d83d^8 configuration. CNCN^- is a strong field ligand, causing the pairing of unpaired dd electrons. This vacates one 3d3d orbital. The hybridization is dsp2dsp^2 forming a square planar complex . (B) [CoF6]3[CoF_6]^{3-}: The central metal ion is Co3+Co^{3+} with a 3d63d^6 configuration. FF^- is a weak field ligand, so no pairing of dd electrons occurs. It uses outer 4d4d orbitals for hybridization, which is sp3d2sp^3d^2 (outer orbital octahedral complex) . (C) [Co(C2O4)3]3[Co(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}: The central metal ion is Co3+Co^{3+} (3d63d^6). The oxalate ion (C2O42C_2O_4^{2-}) acts as a strong field ligand for Co3+Co^{3+} causing pairing of electrons. It uses inner 3d3d orbitals for hybridization, which is d2sp3d^2sp^3 (inner orbital octahedral complex) . (D) [NiCl4]2[NiCl_4]^{2-}: The central metal ion is Ni2+Ni^{2+} (3d83d^8). ClCl^- is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs. The hybridization involves one 4s4s and three 4p4p orbitals, resulting in sp3sp^3 hybridization (tetrahedral complex) . Therefore, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
