Which species can have colour arising from charge transfer rather than a metal-centred d−d transition?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, B, C
Solution:

Permanganate and chromate contain d⁰ metals and have intense charge-transfer bands; the ferric thiocyanate system also has intense charge-transfer absorption. A d⁰ ion cannot undergo a metal-centred d−d excitation, so D's claimed restriction cannot produce such colour.
