Solution

The correct option is A $c i s [C o {(e n)}_{2} {C l}_{2}] C l$
The optically active compound capable of rotating plane polarized light to the left or right.

$c i s [C o {(e n)}_{2} {C l}_{2}] C l$ shows optical isomerism. It exists in the form for d and l forms. Trans isomer is optically inactive meso compound.
