For trigonal bipyramidal coordination complex (ML5) the correct point group symmetry and the relative order of the energies of the 3d orbitals in that crystal field, respectively are
(a)$\mathrm{D}_{3 \mathrm{~h}} ; \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x} 2-\mathrm{y} 2}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z} 2},>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
(b)$\mathrm{D}_{3 \mathrm{~d}} ; \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}} 2,>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x} 2-\mathrm{y} 2}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
(c)$\mathrm{D}_{3 \mathrm{~d}} ; \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x} 2-\mathrm{yz}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{zz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
(d)$\mathrm{D}_{3 \mathrm{~h}} ; \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z} 2},>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x} 2-\mathrm{y} 2}, \mathrm{dxy}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
