D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The order of energy of orbitals can be calculated from 
rule. The lower the value of
for an orbital, lower is its energy. If two orbitals have same 
value, the orbital with lower value of 
has the lower energy. The 
rule for given orbital are as follows
(i) 
(ii) 
(iii) 
(iv) 
The order of decreasing energy will be
