Solution

The correct option is C coordination isomerism
[Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6], and [Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6] are the examples of complexes represent coordination isomerism.
They have the same molecular formula and there is interchange of ligands between cationic and anionic entities of different metal ions present in the complex.

Hence, the correct option is B.
