Solution

The correct option is C coordination
Coordination isomerism is a form of structural isomerism in which the composition of the complex ion varies. In a coordination isomer, the total ratio of ligand to metal remains the same, but the ligands attached to a specific metal ion change.

So [Co(en)3][Cr(CN)6] and [Cr(en)3][Co(CN)6]are coordination isomers.

Hence, the correct option is D
