Correct Answer - D
We know that, `Gd ^(3+)` has `4f^(7)` configuration containing 7 unpaired electrons. `Dy ^(3+)` has `4f ^(9)` congiguration, containing five unpaired electrons. `Tm^(3+)` has `4f ^(12)` configuration, containing two unpaired electrons. `Lu^(3+)` has `4f^(14)` configuration does not contains unpaired electrons.
