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

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