Solution

The correct option is A Order of CoC bond length in complexes is I>II>III>IV>V>VI
As the number of π acceptor ligands (CO) increses, synergic bonding per MCO bond decreases. Hence, bond length will increase.
Since the MCO bonds have different strength and accordingly different bond length hence bondlength of CO are also different.
