Solution

The correct option is A $[C o {(N H_{3})}_{2} N O_{2}] {C l}_{2}$
Option (B) is correct.
$[C o {(N H_{3})}_{2} N O_{2}] {C l}_{2}$ will exhibit linkage isomerism as it contains nitrite ligand which have the same composition differing with the connectivity of the metal to a ligand.It can bind from $N$ as well as from $O$ side.
