The correct order of energies of $d-$ orbitals of a metal ion in a square planar complex is:

  • A
    $d_{xy} = d_{yz} = d_{zx} > d_{x^2-y^2} = d_{z^2}$
  • B
    $d_{x^2-y^2} = d_{z^2} > d_{xy} = d_{yz} = d_{zx}$
  • C
    $d_{x^2-y^2} > d_{z^2} > d_{xy} > d_{yz} = d_{zx}$
  • D
    $d_{x^2-y^2} > d_{xy} > d_{z^2} > d_{yz} = d_{zx}$
