The correct order of $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{co}}$ for the compounds $\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{NMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right],\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{OPh})_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$, $\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}(\mathrm{PMe})_{3}\right],\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$ in the IR spectrum is:
(a)$\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{NMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{OPh})_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$
(b)$\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{NMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{OPh})_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$
(c)$\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{OPh})_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{NMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$
(d)$\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{NMe}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{PCl}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]>\left[\mathrm{Mo}(\mathrm{CO})_{3}\left(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{OPh})_{3}\right)_{3}\right]$
