Solution

The correct option is A 2,6
The Primary valency is the number of negative ions that are present as counter ions to the complex.

The secondary valency is the number of ligands that are attached to the metal ion. Hence the Primary valency is 2 and the secondary valency is 6.

Therefore option B is correct.
