A

$d_{xz}=d_{yz}<d_{xy}<dz^2<d_{x^2-y^2}$

B

$d_{xz}=d_{yz}<d_{z^2}<d_{xy}<d_{x^2-y^2}$

C

$d_{yz}<d_{xz}<d_{z^2}<d_{xy}<d_{x^2-y^2}$

D

$d_{xy}<d_{xz}<d_{yz}<d_{x^2-y^2}<d_{z^2}$

Answer

$d_{xz}=d_{yz}<d_{z^2}<d_{xy}<d_{x^2-y^2}$

Explanation

Solution

The correct option is (B): $d_{xz}=d_{yz}<d_{z^2}<d_{xy}<d_{x^2-y^2}$
