The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$[NiCI_4]^{2-}: Ni^{2+}(3d^8)$
$Tetrahedral \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, $
In all other complexes, hybridisation at central metal is $dsp^2 $ and complexes have square planar geometries.

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
