Question

Given below are two statements:

**Statement I:** In octahedral complexes, when $$\Delta_o < P$$ high spin complexes are formed. When $$\Delta_o > P$$ low spin complexes are formed.

**Statement II:** In tetrahedral complexes, because of $$\Delta_t < P$$, low spin complexes are rarely formed.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
