a

d4 to d7 co-ordination entities are more stable for strong field as compared to weak field cases

b

Tetrahedral complexes have sufficiently large splitting energy to force pairing and therefore, high spin configuration are rarely observed.

c

Order of increasing field strength of ligands is: F>H2O>NH3

d

If pairing energy exceeds the magnitude of crystal field splitting then pairing occurs

answer is C.

Detailed Solution

According to crystal field theory (CFT) d4 to d7 co-ordination entities are more stable for strong field as compared to weak field cases.

The d4 to d7 coordination entities with strong field ligands are consequently more stable than coordination entities with weak field ligands because stronger field ligands release more energy.

Thus, the correct option is C.
