Solution

The correct option is C Aquachlorobis-(ethylenediamine)cobalt (III) chloride
Aquachlorobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt (II) chloride will show geometrical ( $c i s - t r a n s$ ) isomerism. In the $c i s$ isomer, two ethylene diamine ligands are adjacent and in the $t r a n s$ isomer, they are opposite to each other.
