Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Valence shell electronic configuration of

`F^(-)` is a weak field ligand, it cannot cause forcible pairing of electrons within d-subshell and thus forms outer orbital octahedral complexes.
CO and `CN^(-)` are strong field ligands, so they can form inner orbital octahedral complexes after forcible pairing of electrons withing d subshell.
