$I$. Valence bond theory cannot explain the color exhibited by transition metal complexes.
$II$. Valence bond theory can predict quantitatively the magnetic properties of transition metal complexes.
$III$. Valence bond theory cannot distinguish ligands as weak and strong field ones.

Which relationship is correct for the crystal field splitting energy between octahedral $(\Delta_0)$ and tetrahedral $(\Delta_t)$ complexes?

Given below are two statements: Statement $I$: Each electron in $e_g$ orbitals destabilizes the orbitals by $+0.6\Delta_o$ and each electron in the $t_{2g}$ orbitals stabilizes the orbitals by $-0.4\Delta_o$ in an octahedral field on the basis of crystal field theory. Statement $II$: All the $d$-orbitals of the transition metals have the same energy in their free atomic state but when a complex is formed the ligands destroy the degeneracy of these orbitals on the basis of crystal field theory. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
