Option: 2

\left [ Co(en)_{3}\right ]^{3+}


Option: 3

Optical isomerism is exhibited by only those complexes which lack elements of symmetry. 

[Co(NH?????3)3Cl3] shows facial as well as meridional isomerism. But both the forms contain plane of symmetry. 

Thus, this complex does not exhibit optical isomerism.
