Q. How many statements is/are correct for given complex $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)_3\right]^{3-}$
i) It contain negative ligands only

ii) The oxidation state of central metal atom is +3

iii) It is optically active

iv) Due to chelation the stability of the complex increases

v) It exhibit geometrical isomerism

vi) It is octahedral with $d ^{2} sp ^{3}$ hybridization.

vii) All oxalate ligands are replaced by ethylenediamine, then complex

do not show optical activity.
