Solution

The correct option is B t62ge3g
In [Cu(NH3)6]2+, oxidation state of Cu ia +2,
The outer electronic configuration of Cu2+=3d9
NH3 is a weak field ligand.
For 3d9 configuration, 6 electron are present in lower t2g energy level and 3 electrons are present in higher eg energy level. Thus configuration will be t62ge3g.
