Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
In 
is a strong field ligand and as it approaches the metal ion, the electrons must pair up.
The splitting of the 
-orbitals in two sets orbitals in an octahedral complex, 
may be represented as
Hence, the electronic configuration of the central atom in 
is 
.
