Solution

The correct option is B Square planar and octahedral complexes
Geometrical isomerism occurs only in square planar & octahedral complexes.
Tetrahedral compounds do not show geometrical isomerism as the arrangement of every Ligand around central metal atom/ion in space is equivalent in every respect.​ Hence option (b) is the answer.
