Solution

The correct option is B $C . N . = 6, O . N . = + 4$
The complex dissociate as $[P t (C l)_{6}]^{2 -} and 2 N H_{4}^{+}$ .
The central metal atom in coordination sphere is attached to 6 $C l^{-}$ ligands. Thus, the coordination number is 6.
Oxidation state of Pt in coordination compound is
$x + (- 1) \times 6 = - 2$
$x - 6 = - 2$
$x = + 4$

Hence, option (b) is correct.
