The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Question**: The question asks which compound is used in cancer chemotherapy. 2. **Recall Relevant Information**: In the context of coordination compounds and their applications, certain compounds are known for their use in medical treatments, particularly in chemotherapy. 3. **Identify the Compound**: The compound known for its use in cancer chemotherapy is **cisplatin**. 4. **Explain the Mechanism**: Cisplatin works by preventing DNA replication, which is crucial for cancer cell division and growth. 5. **Provide the Chemical Formula**: The chemical formula of cisplatin is represented as **[Pt(NH3)2Cl2]**. This indicates that it contains platinum (Pt) with two ammonia (NH3) ligands and two chlorine (Cl) ligands. 6. **Describe the Structure**: Cisplatin has a **square planar geometry**, which is characteristic of many coordination complexes involving platinum. 7. **Mention Other Options**: Another compound mentioned is G salt (KPtCl3C2H4), which is noted as the first organometallic compound but is not used in cancer chemotherapy. 8. **Conclude the Answer**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that **cisplatin** is used in cancer chemotherapy. ---
