Given below are two statements: Statement $I$: Each electron in $e_g$ orbitals destabilizes the orbitals by $+0.6\Delta_o$ and each electron in the $t_{2g}$ orbitals stabilizes the orbitals by $-0.4\Delta_o$ in an octahedral field on the basis of crystal field theory. Statement $II$: All the $d$-orbitals of the transition metals have the same energy in their free atomic state but when a complex is formed the ligands destroy the degeneracy of these orbitals on the basis of crystal field theory. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
