A coordination complex has only two stereo isomers, having octahedral coordination geometry. Identify the complex(es) among the following:
`[Cr(H_(2)O_5 Cl]Cl_(2)]Cl_(2),[Cr(H_2O)_(3)Cl_(3)],[Ni(NH_3)_(4)Cl_(2)],[NH_4]_(2)[NiCl_6]`

A

only `[Cr(H_2O)_(5)Cl]Cl_(2)`

B

`[Cr(H_2O)_(3)Cl_3] and [NH_4]_(4)[NiCl_(6)]`

C

`[Cr(H_2O)_(3)Cl_3] and [Ni(NH_3)_(4)Cl_(2)]`

D

only `[Ni(NH_3)_(4)Cl_(2)]`
