Solution

The correct option is D [PtCl2Br2]2 (square planar)
The complex [PtCl2Br2]2 (square planar) can exist as diastereoisomers.
It exists in cis form and trans form. Diastereomerism occurs when two or more stereoisomers of a compound have different configurations at one or more (but not all) of the equivalent (related) stereocenters and are not mirror images of each other.
