Solution

The correct option is C $[C o (g l y)_{3}]$
The complexes $[C r (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}, [C o (C N)_{6}]^{3 -} a n d [R u (N H_{3})_{6}]^{3 +}$ contain several elements of symmetry and are optically inactive.
The complex $[C o (g l y)_{3}]$ contains no symmetry element and is optically active. It can be resolved into optical isomers.
