Step-by-step solution

The crystal field splitting energy Δ0\Delta_0 depends on the strength of the ligand.

According to the spectrochemical series, the order of ligand strength is F−<H2O<en<CN−F^- < H_2O < en < CN^-.

Thus, the order of Δ0\Delta_0 for the given complexes is [CrF6]3−<[Cr(H2O)6]3+<[Cr(en)3]3+<[Cr(CN)6]3−[CrF_6]^{3-} < [Cr(H_2O)_6]^{3+} < [Cr(en)_3]^{3+} < [Cr(CN)_6]^{3-}.

Matching with the given values:
[CrF6]3−[CrF_6]^{3-} has the minimum Δ0=15,060\Delta_0 = 15,060 cm−1^{-1} (B →\rightarrow I).
[Cr(H2O)6]3+[Cr(H_2O)_6]^{3+} has Δ0=17,400\Delta_0 = 17,400 cm−1^{-1} (C →\rightarrow II).
[Cr(en)3]3+[Cr(en)_3]^{3+} has Δ0=22,300\Delta_0 = 22,300 cm−1^{-1} (D →\rightarrow III).
[Cr(CN)6]3−[Cr(CN)_6]^{3-} has the maximum Δ0=26,600\Delta_0 = 26,600 cm−1^{-1} (A →\rightarrow IV).

This corresponds to A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III.

Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
