(C) In $Fe(CO)_5$,the central metal atom is $Fe$ in $0$ oxidation state.The electronic configuration of $Fe$ $(Z=26)$ is $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2$.$CO$ is a strong field ligand,which causes pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.After pairing,all electrons are paired,making the complex diamagnetic.Since all electrons are paired,it is a low spin complex.
