Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Splitting of orbitals takes place for both weak and strong field ligands. It happens because of electron repulsion due to the approach of ligands to metal. If the orbital lies along the axis of the approach of the ligand, it requires more energy to put an electron in the orbital.
However, the pairing of electrons in these orbitals depends on the strength of the field.
