Solution

The correct option is B K[Pt(η2C2H4)Cl3]
Zeise's salt is a metal - alkene complex.
It is synthesized by the reaction between K2PtCl4 and ethene, with a SnCl2 catalyst. It was one of the very first organometallic compounds to be prepared.

The anion of this air-stable, yellow, coordination complex contains a η2 - ethylene ligand.
