Vedclass · Answer

(C) Optical isomerism is exhibited by complexes that lack a plane of symmetry or a center of inversion.For octahedral complexes of the type $[M(AA)_2a_2]^{n+}$,the cis-isomer is optically active because it lacks a plane of symmetry.In the given options,$[Co(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^{3+}$ is of the type $[M(AA)_2a_2]^{n+}$.The cis-form of $[Co(en)_2(NH_3)_2]^{3+}$ exists as a pair of enantiomers (non-superimposable mirror images).Therefore,the correct option is $C$.
