Which one of the following complexes shows optical isomerism?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Complex[Co(NH3)4Br2]Brhave two G.I. which are optically inactive due to presence of plane of symmetry.
Complex[Co(NH3)3Br3]also have two optically inactive geometrical isomers due to presence of plane of symmetry.
complex trans-[Co en) 2 Br 2 Bris optically inactive.
Complexcis[Co(en)2Cl2]Clis optically active due to formation of non-superimposable mirror image
