Solution

The correct option is A [Co(NH3)6]Cl3
In coordination compounds, the counter ions can react to give another product but the complex ion will not split in a solution.

Here, when one mole of a complex given when reacted with AgNO3 then the maximum counter ion compound will give the maximum amount of AgCl.

Hence, [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 having a maximum number of 3 counter ions in the given options will produce more amount of AgCl.

[Co(NH3)6]Cl3[Co(NH3)6]3+(aq)+3Cl(aq)
AgNO3+Cl(aq)AgCl+NO3(aq)
