Solution

The correct option is D [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]
Option (D) is correct.
[Cr(NH3)4Cl2] complex ions will not show optical activity.
Optical activity is the ability of a chiral molecule to rotate the plane of plane-polairsed light, which is shown by bidentate ligands.As this complex contains only monodentate ligand, it does not show optical activity.
