Correct answer: C
Ionization isomerism arises when the coordination compounds give different ions in solution.
Co(NH3)4(NO2)2]Cl ⇌ Co(NH3)4(NO2)2]+ + Cl-
Co(NH3)4(NO2)2]Cl and Co(NH3)4(ONO)2]Cl are linkage isomers as NO2– is linked through N or through O.
Octahedral complexes of the type MA4B2 exhibit geometrical isomerism.
