  • A
    $\sigma_{2p_z} < \pi_{2p_x} = \pi_{2p_y} < \pi_{2p_x}^* = \pi_{2p_y}^* < \sigma_{2p_z}^*$
  • B
    $\pi_{2p_x} = \pi_{2p_y} < \sigma_{2p_z} < \pi_{2p_x}^* = \pi_{2p_y}^* < \sigma_{2p_z}^*$
  • C
    $\sigma_{2p_z} > \pi_{2p_x} = \pi_{2p_y} > \pi_{2p_x}^* = \pi_{2p_y}^* > \sigma_{2p_z}^*$
  • D
    $\pi_{2p_x} = \pi_{2p_y} < \pi_{2p_x}^* = \pi_{2p_y}^* < \sigma_{2p_z} < \sigma_{2p_z}^*$
