(D) Let us analyze each complex:$1$. In $[VF_6]^{3-}$, $V$ is in $+3$ oxidation state. $V^{3+}$ is $3d^2$. It has $2$ unpaired electrons, so it is paramagnetic. This statement is correct.$2$. In $[CuCl_4]^{2-}$, $Cu$ is in $+2$ oxidation state. $Cu^{2+}$ is $3d^9$. It has $1$ unpaired electron, so it is paramagnetic. This statement is correct.$3$. In $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$, $Co$ is in $+3$ oxidation state. $Co^{3+}$ is $3d^6$. $NH_3$ is a strong field ligand, causing pairing of electrons. All $6$ electrons are paired, so it is diamagnetic. This statement is correct.$4$. In $[CoF_6]^{3-}$, $Co$ is in $+3$ oxidation state. $Co^{3+}$ is $3d^6$. $F^-$ is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs. The $3d$ orbitals have $4$ unpaired electrons. Thus, it is paramagnetic with $4$ unpaired electrons. The statement claiming $2$ unpaired electrons is incorrect.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
