Solution

The correct option is C maximum spin multiplicity
Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity states that a greater total spin state usually makes the resulting atom more stable. Accordingly, it can be taken that if two or more orbitals of equal energy are available, electrons will occupy them singly before filling them in pairs.
