The correct order of crystal field strength is : (Given: en = enthylenediamine)
(a)$\mathrm{Cl}^{-}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}<$ en $<\left(\eta^{5}-\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5}\right)^{-}$
(b)$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{Cl}^{-}<\left(\eta^{5}-\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5}\right)^{-}<$en
(c)$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}<\left(\eta^{5}-\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5}\right)^{-}<\mathrm{en}<\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
(d)en $<\mathrm{Cl}^{-}<\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}<\left(\eta^{5}-\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{5}\right)^{-}$
