Solution
The correct option is C chelate
When a ligand uses two or more of its donor atoms simultaneously to bind a single metal ion and produces a ring, it is called chelate ligand.
The complex formed is referred as a chelate complex.
The process of chelate formation is known as chelation.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
