Correct answer: C

  1. We check each combination one by one.

  2. A. Chlorophyll - CoCoCo

    • In chlorophyll, the central metal ion is magnesium, not cobalt.
    • Chlorophyll contains a porphyrin-like ring with Mg2+Mg^{2+}Mg2+ at the center.
    • So, A is mismatched.
  3. B. Water hardness - EDTAEDTAEDTA

    • Hardness of water is due to Ca2+Ca^{2+}Ca2+ and Mg2+Mg^{2+}Mg2+ ions.
    • EDTAEDTAEDTA is used in complexometric titration to estimate hardness because it forms stable chelates with these metal ions.
    • So, B is correctly matched.
  4. C. Photography - [Ag(CN)2]−\left[Ag(CN)_2\right]^-[Ag(CN)2​]−

    • In photography, the fixing agent is hypo, i.e. sodium thiosulfate, which dissolves unreacted AgBrAgBrAgBr by forming the complex: [Ag(S2O3)2]3−[Ag(S_2O_3)_2]^{3-}[Ag(S2​O3​)2​]3−
    • The complex [Ag(CN)2]−\left[Ag(CN)_2\right]^-[Ag(CN)2​]− is associated with silver cyanide chemistry/electroplating, not photography.
    • So, C is mismatched.
  5. D. Wilkinson catalyst - [(Ph3P)3RhCl]\left[(Ph_3P)_3RhCl\right][(Ph3​P)3​RhCl]

    • Wilkinson catalyst is indeed: [(Ph3P)3RhCl]\left[(Ph_3P)_3RhCl\right][(Ph3​P)3​RhCl]
    • So, D is correctly matched.
  6. E. Chelating ligand - D-Penicillamine

    • D-Penicillamine can act as a chelating ligand because it has donor atoms capable of binding through more than one site.
    • It is also used medicinally as a chelating agent for metals like copper.
    • So, E is correctly matched.
  7. Therefore, the mismatched combinations are: A and CA \text{ and } CA and C

  8. From the given options, this corresponds to: Option C.
