Detailed Solution

Chelate ligands i.e. oxalato being too small to span the transpositions and thus prefer to occupy the cis-position. So (I) is cis and (II) is trans. Platinum is in +2 oxidation state with 5d8 valence shell electron configuration. This configuration has higher CFSE and thus favours square planar geometry.
