The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
For octahedral $Ma_3b_ 3$ complexes there are two isomers facial where the 'a' ligands occupy one face (all cis) and meridional where one of the 'a' ligands is moved so it is in the same equatorial plane as the other two 'a' ligands.

Concepts Used:
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.
