Strategy:
 Link the field strength of the ligands to the hybridization geometry (tetrahedral vs. square planar) and determine the unpaired electron count derived via .

Step 1: Characterize the Nickel complexes
- (A) :  configuration is mathematically fused into  by the incredibly potent synergic  field before hybridization. Employs outer . Tetrahedral. Diamagnetic (0 unpaired  0 BM). Matches III.
- (B) :  (). Powerful  forces pairing, leaving one inner  orbital () empty. Yields  hybridization.
