Low spin tetrahedral complexes are not formed because
  1. for tetrahedral complexes, the CFSE is lower than pairing energy
  2. for tetrahedral complexes, the CFSE is higher than pairing energy
  3. electrons do not go to eg in case of tetrahedral complexes
  4. tetrahedral complexes are formed by weak field ligands only.

Answer

(A) for tetrahedral complexes, the CFSE is lower than pairing energy
