NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3cc119

$[Cr (H X_{2} O) X_{6}] Cl X_{3}$ and $[Cr (H X_{2} O) X_{5} Cl] Cl X_{2} \cdot H X_{2} O$ are an example of

Aionisation isomerism
Blinkage isomerism
Chydrate (solvate) isomerism
Doptical isomerism

Answer: C

Both have the same composition, but water is a ligand in the coordination sphere to a different extent: water of crystallisation is exchanged with a chloride ligand. That is hydrate isomerism.
