Solution

The correct option is D linkage
This complex has NO2 in it,which is an ambidentate ligand,which means it has 2 sites of attack to the central metal atom.
Therefore,the complex which has such type of ligand can show linkage isomerism and they are
(1)[Cr(NH3)5NO2]Cl2
(2)[Cr(NH3)5ONO]Cl3
oxidation state of chromium
