Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Splitting of d orbital in octahedral complexes is shown as-

Splitting of in orbital is represent as (whether strong or weak field)

Splitting of in orbital in both strong & weak field-

due to unpaired coloured compounds may obtained. Therefore option " a " is incorrect.
No. of in orbitals are higher than in orbitals and it can have either or configuration. Hence, both statements given in option " b " & " c " are correct. Therefore, option " d " is correct.
