As we learned in concept

Geometrical Isomers -

This is due to the difference in relative position of the ligands attached to the central metal atom with respect to each other

-

 

 [Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+ displays geometrical isomerism in as and transforms. As form is purple in colour whereas trans form is green.

Therefore, colour difference is due to geometrical isomerism

Thereform, solution is 2
