Solution

The correct option is C [CrCl6]3<[Cr(H2O)6]3+<[Cr(NH3)6]3+<[Cr(CN)6]3
The order of CFSE (Δo) in these complexes is in the order [CrCl6]3<[Cr(H2O)6]3+<[Cr(NH3)6]3+<[Cr(CN)6]3.
This is based on the relative positions of the ligands in the spectrochemical series which is based on the field strength as measured by experimental methods.
