The correct answer is: $\mathrm{Na}_3\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\right)_2\right]$
When sodium thiosulphate solution is added to $\mathrm{AgBr}$, then sodium argentothiosulphate is obtained.
$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{AgBr}+2 \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3 \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}_3\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\right)_2\right] \\ & \text { (colourless) } \\ & \text { sodium argentothiosulphate } \\ & +\mathrm{NaBr} \\ & \end{aligned}$
