Detailed Solution

It is given to find out the increasing order of field strength of ligands. 

Cyanide is the strongest ligand. NH3 is a weak ligand.  

Explanation

Carbonyl ligand is strong as it contains empty orbitals which bring in splitting in the d orbitals of the metal atom. 

Using the idea of a spectrochemical series, ligands are placed in a crystal field strength-increasing sequence is  NH3<H2O<Cl<CO<CN
Hence the correct answer is A)  NH3<H2O<Cl<CO<CN
