Which statement most correctly describes crystal field theory for a d-block complex of unspecified geometry

Which statement most correctly describes crystal field theory for a d-block complex of unspecified geometry 

а) The theory considers covalent interactions between a metal center and surrounding ligands. 

b) The theory considers electrostatic interactions between a metal ion and the surrounding ligands which are taken to be point charges 

c) The theory rationalizes the non-degeneracy of the metal d orbitals by considering the electrostatic repulsions between point charge ligands and electrons in the metal d orbitals 

d) The theory rationalizes why the metal d orbitals are split into two levels.

e) None of the above
