Consider the transition metal ions $Mn^{3+}$,$Cr^{3+}$,$Fe^{3+}$,and $Co^{3+}$. All form low spin octahedral complexes. The correct decreasing order of unpaired electrons in their respective $d$-orbitals of the complexes is:

  • A
    $Cr^{3+} > Mn^{3+} > Fe^{3+} > Co^{3+}$
  • B
    $Mn^{3+} > Fe^{3+} > Co^{3+} > Cr^{3+}$
  • C
    $Fe^{3+} > Mn^{3+} > Cr^{3+} > Co^{3+}$
  • D
    $Co^{3+} > Fe^{3+} > Mn^{3+} > Cr^{3+}$
