Solution

Explanation:
Total number of monodentate ligands attached to the central metal ion through co-ordinate bonds is called the coordination number of the metal ion.
Coordination number is the maximum covalency shown by a metal or metal ion.
It is the maximum number of ligands attached to the metal by sigma bonds or coordinate bonds.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
