Solution

The correct option is A True
$c i s [C o (e n)_{2} C l_{2}]^{+}$ can have $d$ and $l$ optical isomers.

It is a complex of $[M (A A)_{2} B_{2}]$ type and shows optical isomerism. It's cis form can be resolved into two optically active isomers, since it has no plane of symmetry. The trans isomer has a plane of symmetry hence shows no optical active form.
