Solution

The correct option is A $C o C l_{3} . 3 N H_{3}$
Cobalt has six secondary valences holding ammonia molecules to itself. The three $C l^{-}$ ions and 3 ammonia ions are bound by secondary valences and are not ionisable and will not be precipitated by the addition of $A g N O_{3}$ .
Therefore, the complex behaves as neutral non-conducting molecule. It may be formulated as $[C o (N H_{3}) 3 {C l}_{3}]$ and does not ionise .

Hence it has low conductance as compared to others whoch has extra ammonia ions so as to form precipitate..
