Solution
The correct option is D The Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct According to the spectrochemical series, CN− is a strong field ligand, so it has more Δo value. So correct order of Δo for these complex ions is: [CrCl6]3−<[Cr(C2O4)3]3−<[Cr(CN)6]3− Thus Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
