Solution

The correct option is B Grignard's reagent
Grignard's reagent i.e., RMgX is a σ -bonded organometallic compound.

The other three organometallic compounds have the metal (Ru in Ruthenocene, Fe in Ferrocene, Co in cobaltocene) sandwiched betweeen two pentene rings. Pentene contains π bonds and thus cannot be considered a σ bonded organometallic compound.
