Solution
The compound [CoCl2(NH3)2(en)] has two geometrical isomers. One is the cis-isomer (with respect to NH3) and the other is the trans- isomer (with respect to NH3).
The cis-isomer has two optically active forms, d-cis isomer and I-cis isomer. So, the compound [CoCl2(NH3)2(en)] can form geometrical isomers as well as optical isomers.
Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
