Detailed Solution

The nearest inert gas of Pt is Rn, the total electrons in Rn is 86. By calculating the EAN of Pt in the complex, Pt(ox)py2O2H2O. EAN =ZON+(2×L) Where, Z is atomic number, ON is oxidation state on central metal, and L is ligand.

Pt=ZON+(2×L)=784+(2×6)=86Ox is a bidentate complex with an octahedral structure in this complex. So there are two types of geometrical isomerism possible here: cis and trans. It may also exhibit optical isomerism due to its less symmetric nature.

So, option D is correct.
