Solution

The correct option is B [Cu(NH3)4]SO4

Coordination complex is classified into positive, negative and neutral complex based on the charge on coordination sphere.

K2[Cd(CN)4] dissociate as [Cd(CN)4]2 and 2K+. The charge on coordination sphere is -2. Hence, it is a anionic complex.

[Cu(NH3)4]SO4 dissociate as [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and SO24. The charge on coordination sphere is +2. Hence, it is a cationic complex.

K3[Fe(CN)6] dissociate as [Fe(CN)6]3 and 3K+. The charge on coordination sphere is -3. Hence, it is a anionic complex.

Charge on coordination sphere of [Ni(CO)4] is absent. Hence, it is neutral complex.

Hence, (b) is correct.
