Solution

The correct option is C $C o_{2} (C O)_{8}$
The carbonyl complex of cobalt having a single covalent $C o - C o$ bond is $C o_{2} (C O)_{8}$ .This dicobalt octacarbonyl is a reagent and catalyst in organometallic chemistry and organic synthesis.

It is used as a catalyst for hydroformylation, the conversion of alkenes into aldehydes.

Hence, the correct option is $C$
