Answer»

Overlap and DONATION from the LONE pair of C into a vacant (hybrid) metal orbital to form a `M leftarrow C` bond,
Overlap and the donation from a filled `d_(xz)" or "d_(yz)` orbital on M into a vacant antibonding `pi_(p)^(**)` orbital on CO to form a `M rightarrow C` bond
Overlap and the donation from the lone pair on vacant (hybrid) metal orbital into C to form a `M rightarrow C` bond
Overlap and the donation from a filled vacant antibonding `pi_(p)^(**)` orbital on CINTO`d_(xz)" or "d_(yz)` orbital on M to form `M leftarrow C` bond
