Due to the difference in the spatial arrangement of the ligands within the coordination sphere the phenomenon of stereoisomerism arises

Which of the following molecule/ion can show optical isomerism?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Optical isomerism requires chirality (non-superimposable mirror images), often found in octahedral complexes with bidentate ligands. Option D is a chiral octahedral complex.
