The correct answer is:
$I^{-} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{NH}_3 < \mathrm{CN}^{-}$
$\because$ Order of crystal field splitting for the ligands
in $\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ is

Hence, correct order is $\mathrm{I}^{-} < \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{NH}_3 < \mathrm{CN}^{-}$and option (d) is the correct answer.
