Solution

The correct option is C Coordination isomerism
Option (C) is correct. The complexes [Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6] and [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] are the example of coordination isomerism.

In coordination isomerism, both positive and negative ions of a salt are complex ions and the two isomers differ in the distribution of ligands between the cation and the anion.
