Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Δt is smaller as compared Δo. Consequently, the orbital splitting energies are not sufficiently large enough to force spin pairing. This is because pairing energy is more than orbital splitting energy. Therefore, low spin configurations are rarely observed.
