Solution:

Complexes of the type $\left[M \left(a a\right)_{2} a_{2}\right]$ show geometrical or fac-mer isomerism. (where, aa = bidentate ligand and a is monodentate ligand.) Among the given, dichlorodiglycinato cobalt (III), I.e., $\left[C o C l_{2} \left(g l y\right)_{2}\right]$ is such salt, so it will show fac and mer isomerism.
