Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

TiX2+\ce{Ti^2+}, VX2+\ce{V^2+} and CrX2+\ce{Cr^2+} are strong reducing agents and are oxidised by HX+\ce{H+}, releasing hydrogen. MnX2+\ce{Mn^2+} (d5d^5) is stable, since E∘(MnX3+/MnX2+)=+1.57E^\circ(\ce{Mn^3+/Mn^2+})=+1.57 V, so it does not.
