Amongst the following the most stable complex is

(i) [Fe(H2O)6]3+


(ii) [Fe(NH3)6]3+


(iii) [Fe(C2O4)3]3-


(iv) [FeCl6]3-


Among all the complex given [Fe(C2O4)3]3- have a bidentate ligand whereas all the other three have unidentated ligand. Now we know that in chelate effect, the bidentate ligand forms a ring like structure and complex so formed is very stable with strong bond between them.

So, [Fe(C2O4)3]3- is the most stable complex.
