Solution

In homoleptic complex, only one type of ligand is present.
In heteroleptic complex, more than one type of ligands are present.
(i) $K_{4} [F e (C N)_{6}]$ and (iii) $K_{2} [Z n (O H)_{4}]$ are homoleptic complexes.
(ii) $[C o (N H_{3})_{5} (C O_{3})] C l$ and (iv) $[P t (N H_{3})_{2} C l (N O_{2})]$ are heteroleptic complexes.
