Answer:
The lowest oxidation state is −4, as for carbon in methane or for chromium in [Cr(CO)4]4−. The increase in oxidation state of an atom, through a chemical reaction, is known as an oxidation; a decrease in oxidation state is known as a reduction.

The lowest oxidation state of manganese is basic while the highest is acidic. The lowest oxidation state of manganese is +2,(Mn2+) .It has tendency to lose electron in order to increase it oxidation state. Therefore Mn2+ is basic.
