In the isoelectronic series, V$${\text{O}}_4^{3 - }$$, Cr$${\text{O}}_4^{2 - }$$ and Mn$${\text{O}}_4^ - $$, all members have intense charge transfer (CT) transitions. The incorrect statement is

A. CT transitions are attributed to excitations of electrons from ligand (σ) to metal (e)

B. Mn$${\text{O}}_4^ - $$ exhibits charge transfer at shortest wavelength among the three

C. The wavelengths of transitions· increase in the order V$${\text{O}}_4^{3 - }$$ < Cr$${\text{O}}_4^{2 - }$$ < Mn$${\text{O}}_4^ - $$

D. The charge on metal nucleus increases in the order V$${\text{O}}_4^{3 - }$$ < Cr$${\text{O}}_4^{2 - }$$ < Mn$${\text{O}}_4^ - $$
