Electronic configuration:

In chemistry, the electronic configuration of a chemical element indicates the distribution of all available electrons of the element in the different shells or blocks (s, p, d, etc). For filling the shell or block, first of all, fill s block, then p, d, and so on.

The electronic configuration for iron is


1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^6

Hence, the correct answer is (b)
