(B) Let the oxidation state of $Fe$ be $x$. In $K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$,the oxidation state of $K$ is $+1$ and the oxidation state of $CN^-$ is $-1$. The sum of oxidation states in a neutral complex is $0$. $3 	imes (+1) + x + 6 	imes (-1) = 0$ $3 + x - 6 = 0$ $x - 3 = 0$ $x = +3$. Therefore,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is $+3$.
