The electronic configuration of a metal ion in its complex is $[Ar] 3d^4$. For this metal complex,$\Delta_o < P$ ($P=$ energy required for electron pairing in a single orbital). The distribution of electrons in the complex is:

  • A
    $(t_{2g})^3 (e_g)^1$
  • B
    $(t_{2g})^2 (e_g)^2$
  • C
    $(t_{2g})^4 (e_g)^0$
  • D
    $(t_{2g})^1 (e_g)^3$
