Solution

The correct option is B $d i e n$
Dien (Diethylenetriamine) has following structure
$H_{2} ∙ ∙ N - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - ∙ ∙ N H - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - ∙ ∙ N H_{2}$ .
The number of donor atoms is three hence it is a tridentate ligand. Each nitrogen atom is a donor atom.
$E D T A^{4 -}$ is a hexadentate ligand. $(C O O)_{2}^{2 -}$ is a bidentate ligand. ${N O_{2}}^{-}$ is a monodentate ligand.
