Solution

The correct option is A I, III
I) As all are weak field ligands, therefore, all will have a same number of unpaired electrons as in central metal ion.
II) V.B.T. does not give any interpretation about the relative thermodynamic stabilities of various complexes. This is one of the limitations of VBT.
III) It is a correct statement.
