Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Option (C) represents an octahedral complex of the type , specifically .
All possible geometrical isomers (both fac and mer forms) of this complex possess at least one plane of symmetry.
Because they contain a plane of symmetry, all its isomers are achiral (optically inactive).
Therefore, it cannot be resolved into enantiomeric 'd' and 'l' forms.
