The correct answer is: dichloro diglycinato cobalt (III)
Complexes of the type Maa2a2 show geometrical or fac-mer isomerism. (where, aa = bidentate ligand and a is monodentate ligand.) Among the given, dichlorodiglycinato cobalt (III), I.e., CoCl2gly2 is such salt, so it will show fac and mer isomerism.
