Solution

Correct IUPAC name can be written as
The ligands present in the given coordination compound are
(i) NH3 represented as amine
(ii) Cl+ represented as chlorido
(iii) NO2 represented as nitrito-N
According to IUPAC rule, ligands are named in an alphabetical order before the central atom. Prefix di-will be used to indicate the number of NH3 ligands present.
The oxidation state of metal is indicated by a Roman numeral in parenthesis.
So, IUPAC name will be
diamminechloronitrito-N-platinum (II)
Hence, option (c) is correct.
