Solution

The correct option is A Molecular Orbital Theory
Werner’s theory fails to explain the magnetic properties and directional properties of the bonds. Valence bond theory fails to distinguish weak and strong ligands, Crystal field theory doesn’t explains about covalent character of bonding between the central atom and also CFT explains more about molecular energy but MOT explains the bonding and molecular structure of the complex.
