According to the Crystal Field Theory, the energy of `d_(xy)` orbital is lower than `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` in an octahedral complex becauseA. the `d_(xy)` orbital near the ligandsB. the repulsion between the `d_(xy)` electrons and ligands electrons is less than that between `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` and ligands electrons.C. the repulsion between the `d_(xy)` electrons and ligands electrons is more than that between `d_(x^(2)-y^(2))` and ligands electrons.D. the `d_(x^(2)-^(2))` orbital is away the ligands.
