The correct answer is: (C)>(A)>(B)

The complexes with strong filed ligands absorbs the highest energy light than complexes with weak field ligands.

Ethylene diamine(en) is strong field ligand and H2O is the weak field ligand.

Hence, the correct order of energy absorbed is 

Nien32+>NiH2O2en22+>NiH2O4en2+
