Correct answer: B

  1. Identify the ligands in the complex

    The complex ion is: [Th(C2O4)4(H2O)2]4−[Th(C_2O_4)_4(H_2O)_2]^{4-}[Th(C2​O4​)4​(H2​O)2​]4−

    Ligands present:

    • 444 oxalato ligands, C2O42−C_2O_4^{2-}C2​O42−​
    • 222 aqua ligands, H2OH_2OH2​O
  2. Determine denticity of each ligand

    • Oxalato (C2O42−)(C_2O_4^{2-})(C2​O42−​) is a bidentate ligand. So, each oxalato ligand contributes 222 donor atoms.
    • Water (H2O)(H_2O)(H2​O) is a monodentate ligand. So, each water molecule contributes 111 donor atom.
  3. Calculate total coordination number

    From 444 oxalato ligands: 4×2=84 \times 2 = 84×2=8

    From 222 water ligands: 2×1=22 \times 1 = 22×1=2

    Therefore, total coordination number of Th is: 8+2=108 + 2 = 108+2=10

  4. Match with the options

    The correct option is: 10\boxed{10}10​

    So, Option B is correct.
