(A) The atomic number of $Mn$ is $25$,so its electronic configuration is $[Ar] 3d^5 4s^2$.In $[Mn(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,the oxidation state of $Mn$ is $+2$,so its configuration is $3d^5$.$H_2O$ is a weak field ligand,so it does not cause pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.Therefore,the $3d^5$ configuration has $5$ unpaired electrons.Since the ion contains unpaired electrons,it exhibits paramagnetism.

The type of magnetism exhibited by $[Mn(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$ ion is
