Solution
The correct option is D (i) Ligands, (ii) Ionisation sphere, (iii) Coordination number, (iv) Central atom Ammonia is a ligand. It donates lone pair of electrons to Cobalt (central metal atom) and forms co-ordinate bond.
Co-ordination number is 6 as 6 ammonia ligand coordinate to central metal.
(ii) represents ionisation sphere ,[Co(NH3)6] has +3 charge.
