Solution

The correct options are
A $N O_{2}^{-}$
B $S C N^{-}$
C $O C N^{-}$
D $C N^{-}$
$N O_{2}^{-}$ , $S C N^{-}$ , $O C N^{-}$ and $C N^{-}$ are all ambidentate ligands as they can coordinate to metal through more than one donor atom.
$N O_{2}^{-}$ can coordinate to metal through either N or O.
$S C N^{-}$ Can coordinate to metal through either S or N.
$O C N^{-}$ Can coordinate to metal through either O or N.
$C N^{-}$ can coordinate to metal through either C or N.
