Solution

The correct option is C [Ti(CN)6]3
The complex for which the calculation of crystal field splitting can be most easily done, by knowing its absorption spectrum, will be [Ti(CN)6]3
In [Ti(CN)6]3, the Ti(III) ion has one electron in 3d subshell. Thus, it is one electron complex.
Note: The calculation of crystal field splitting can be most easily done by observing the absorption spectrum of one e complex.
For multi-electronic (d2tod10) system, the calculation of Δ0 by absorption spectrum is not that easy as the absorption spectrum will also be affected by electron-electron repulsion.
