Solution

The correct option is D Trichloro tetrammine platinum (IV) chloride
The formula of given complex are as follows:
(a) Hexammine platinum (IV) chloirde
[Pt(NH3)6]Cl4
(b) Chloropentammine platinum (IV) chloirde
[Pt(NH3)5Cl]Cl3
(c) Dichlorotetrammine platinum (IV) chloirde
[Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Cl2
(d) Trichlorotriammine platinum (IV) chloirde
[Pt(NH3)3Cl3]Cl
In aqueous solution the complexes ionise as
[Pt(NH3)6]Cl4[Pt(NH3)6]4++4Cl5ions

[Pt(NH3)5Cl]Cl4[Pt(NH3)5Cl]3++3Cl4ions

[Pt(NH3)4Cl2]Cl[Pt(NH3)4Cl2]2++2Cl3ions

[Pt(NH3)3Cl3]Cl[Pt(NH3)3Cl3]++Cl2ions

Trichlorotriammine platinum (IV) chloride gives the minimum number of ions in the solution. Hence, it has the minimum electrical conductivity
