Which complex is likely to show optical activity?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

Cis - {\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)}_2}{{\left( {\mathrm{en}} \right)}_2}} \right]^{3 + }}

Option C (

Cis - {\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {\mathrm{N}{\mathrm{H}_3}} \right)}_2}{{\left( {\mathrm{en}} \right)}_2}} \right]^{3 + }}

) is correct because the cis isomer of this complex lacks a plane of symmetry and is therefore chiral.
