1 electron has charge =1.602* 10⁻¹⁹ C
1 mole of electrons have 1.602* 10⁻¹⁹*6.02*10²³C = 9.64*10⁴ C/1mol

One ion Co²⁺ takes 2e⁻ to become Co⁰.
1 mol of Co²⁺ ions take 2 mole of e⁻ to become Co⁰, so
0.30 mol Co²⁺ ions take mole of 0.60 mol e⁻ to become Co⁰

9.64*10⁴(C/1mol) *0.60 (mol)≈ 5.8 *10⁴ Coulombs.
Correct answer is C
