The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\left[ Cu \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4}\right]^{2+}$ is an exception to EAN rule.
$EAN = Z - X + Y$
$EAN =29-2+8=35$
The atomic number of nearest noble gas $( Kr )$ is $36$ .
Note:
${\left[ Pt \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{4+}}$
$EAN =78-4+12=86$
The atomic number of nearest noble gas $( Rn ) $ is $86$ .
$\left[ Fe ( CN )_{6}\right]^{4-}$
$EAN =26-2+12=36$
The atomic number of nearest noble gas $( Kr )$ is $36$ .
$\left[ Zn \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4}\right]^{2+}$
$EAN =30-2+8=36$
The atomic number of nearest noble gas $( Kr )$ is $36 .$

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.
