The octahedral complex of a metal ion $M^{3+}$ with four monodentate ligands $L_1, L_2, L_3$ and $L_4$ absorb wavelengths in the region of red,green,yellow and blue,respectively. The increasing order of ligand strength of the four ligands is:

  • A
    $L_4 < L_3 < L_2 < L_1$
  • B
    $L_1 < L_3 < L_2 < L_4$
  • C
    $L_3 < L_2 < L_4 < L_1$
  • D
    $L_1 < L_2 < L_4 < L_3$
