Answer: X3+
Explanation:
Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).
In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).
X --> X3+ + 3e-
Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.
Gravity is a force that can used draws everywhere, or everything to the Earth's center.

W(Cl)=0.3877
w(O)=0.6123
M(Cl)=35.5 g/mol
M(O)=16.0 g/mol
ClₐOₓ
M(ClₐOₓ)=35.5a+16.0x
w(Cl)=35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)
w(O)=16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)
solve a system of two equations with two unknowns
35.5a/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.3877
16.0x/(35.5a+16.0x)=0.6123
a=2
x=7
Cl₂O₇ is the empirical formula
Oxygen's oxidation number is -2 here, so we have -8.
Potassium is a group 1 element, therefore it has a oxidation number of +1. Therefore, Manganese's oxidation number must balance out +1 + -8 = -7. Therefore, Manganese's oxidation number is (1) +7
Not C
