detailed solution

Correct option is D

(1) Pt(+II) and Au(+III) with 5d5 configuration have larger CFSE and favour square planar geometry (i.e., dsp2 hybridization) with weak as well as strong field ligands. 
(2) The t2g orbitals in tetrahedral complex are closer to the ligand-direction. They therefore possess higher energies than eg eg orbitals.

3) The CFSE is zero in both octahedral and tetrahedral complexes with weak field ligands for the d0 and d10 configuration.

All the given statements are correct.
