Solution

The correct option is C I, II, III and IV
When the ligands approach the metal ion, the degeneracy of d-orbitals is lost. This is irrespective of the strength of the ligand field.
Thus, ligand field created by strong, weak, mixed or chelating ligands cause the loss of the degeneracy of d-orbitals.
