Solution
The highest oxidation state shown by Mn is +7.
Explanation:
Manganese (Mn) belongs to the first transition series and shows variable oxidation states due to its multiple unpaired d-electrons. The +7 oxidation state is the highest and is seen in compounds like KMnO4 (potassium permanganate), where Mn acts as a strong oxidising agent.
