Solution

The correct option is A 0
Oxalate is a bidentate and symmetrical ligand. Three oxalate gives CN=6 to Al and forms an octahedral shape.
It is of the type [M(AA)3].
AA- bidentate symmetrical ligand

Since ligands are same, the structure of the complex will be same, such that no isomers are possible for this structure.
Option A is the correct answer
