Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The conditions and consequence that favour 
configuration in a metal complex are
(i) weak field ligand, and
(ii) high spin complex
For weak field ligands, splitting energy ( 
) is lower than pairing energy 
. As a result distribution of electrons for 
will be 
. It results in high spin complex due to maximum number of unpaired electrons.
