Solution

The correct option is C 1
In $C u S O_{4} .5 H_{2} O, C u$ is coordinated with 4 water molecules and two more oxygen atoms from Sulphate ion.
Now fifth water molecule is hydrogen-bonded and is deeply embedded in a crystal. It is not coordinated.
Only 4 water molecules are coordinated and the fifth is the only hydrogen bonded.

Hence, option A is correct
