{The conditions and consequence that favours the $$t_{2gg} e_g^1$$ configuration in a metal complex are:
The electronic configuration $$t_{2g}^3 e_g^1$$ corresponds to a $$d^4$$ metal ion.
In a weak field (small $$\Delta_0$$), electrons fill according to Hund's rule, avoiding pairing. So 4 d-electrons go as: $$t_{2g}^3 e_g^1$$ - one electron in each of 3 $$t_{2g}$$ orbitals and 1 in $$e_g$$. This gives maximum spin (high spin complex).
A weak field ligand produces small crystal field splitting, favoring high spin configuration.
The correct answer is Option B: weak field ligand, high spin complex.
