23. Two closely overlapping bands often observed for $\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ are most directly explained by: (A) Spin-forbidden transitions only (B) Jahn-Teller distortion splitting $e_g$ levels (C) Tetrahedral contamination (D) Only LMCT (E) Only metal-metal bonding
