Complete removal of both the axial ligands (along the z-axis) from an octahedral complex leads to which of the following splitting patterns?

The correct option is A. If both ligands present along the z-axis are removed from an octahedral field and converted into a square planar field, then the energy level of orbitals is shown. [A diagram or description of the energy level splitting would typically be included here to fully illustrate the solution. Since no such diagram is available in the input data, the solution only provides a textual description.]
