Solution

The correct option is A Ma2b2
The square planer complexes having coordination number 4 exhibit geometrical isomerism or cis-trans isomerism.

Square planar complex of type Ma4 does not show geometrical isomerism because all the ligands are same.

Ma2b4 and Ma2b2c2 are octahedral complexes with coordination number 6.

Ma2b2 show cis-trans isomerism due to two different type of ligands.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
