The existence of cis and trans forms of square planar $[Pt (NH X_{3}) X_{2} Cl X_{2}]$ is an example of

Aoptical isomerism
Bionisation isomerism
Clinkage isomerism
Dgeometrical isomerism

Answer: D

The two forms differ only in the relative spatial arrangement of identical ligands (adjacent or opposite) around Pt. This is geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism.
